Cuban Parakeet, Cuba
The Cuban Parakeet or Catey (Aratinga euops) is a species of parrot in the Psittacidae family that is endemic to the island of Cuba. It was extirpated from the Isla de la Juventud south of Cuba soon after 1900.
Its natural habitats are dry forests, dry savanna, and arable land. The species breeds seasonally, nesting from April to July. It nests in holes in trees or termite nests, particularly those created by the Cuban Green Woodpecker. Three to five eggs are incubated for around 22 days, and the nestling period is between 45–50 days. The species was once very common but is now much reduced due to habitat loss and trapping for the cagebird trade. As a consequence it is now listed as vulnerable by the IUCN.

of my very favourite beach.
You can't tell from this photo but fish swim about your ankles when you're just shin deep in the water. Birds will swoop down to catch their lunch of fresh fish, right beside you, while you're standing there! I'm waist-deep in the water while taking this picture.
