Visited a tropical butterfly garden during a rainy day last week. It turned out there were a few tropical birds flying around the place as well.
It wasn't long before the butterflies became of secondary interest and I was trying to get nice shots of the birds :)
This is my favourite of the day. I had never seen this species before either, so a nice takeaway overall.
This warbler is also known as the Gold Finch of Texas. Breeding in Central Texas it is now an endangered species.
“Golden-cheeked warblers will only remain in Texas for the breeding season, from March to June. They will migrate with other songbird species along Mexico's Sierra Madre Oriental. By the first week of March, the warblers will return to Texas to breed. During the winter season (November–February), warblers will travel to Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, and Mexico” [credit iNaturalist.]
I saw this bird in a wooded area on High Island just off the Bolivar Peninsular.
Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.

Thank you Ian & Kate for the I.D Taken in St James`s Park.
A fairly common, uniquely-marked duck, the White-cheeked Pintail is spottily ditributed throughout South America and the Caribbean. There are currently three recognized subspecies of White-cheeked Pintail including a sendentary population on the Galapagos Islands. More often found in brackish waters than other dabbling ducks, the White-cheeked Pintail is a resident of mangrove swamps, small lakes, and coastal lagoons. They forage primarily for aquatic plants and seeds from the surface of the water by head-dipping and upending. Occasionally, when food is abundant, White-cheeked Pintail will sometimes gather in large groups of 1,000 individuals or more.
This Asian Barbet found in the forest areas of the Western Ghats, parts of the Eastern Ghats and adjoining hills. It has a distinctive supercilium and a broad white cheek stripe below the eye. They are mostly frugivorous, but will take winged termites and other insects opportunistically.

Thank you so much everyone for your wonderful comments and I appreciate your time.
Another terrific yard migrant, this thrush holds the distinction of being a species I have *only* seen as a yard bird (I've spotted them twice before). I think that means I need to get out more!
A chipmunk with its cheeks stuffed with helicopter seeds. I really like this angle for the view of those chipmunk stripes.

Georgia. My backyard. Picked this bird up with my creekside motion activated Blink camera when I was out of town and was hoping it would still be present when I returned. Our backyard has plenty of ripe dogwood berries, pokeweed berries, and beauty berries so hoping for more berry loving migrants to find the yard. Also hoping the AmerIcan Rob1ns don't find them first and clean us out. LOL.
The Golden-cheeked Warbler requires old juniper woodlands and live-oak habitat for nesting. This habitat occurs in central south Texas. In fact, this bird nests exclusively in the Lone Star State although vagrant birds have shown up in other states.
GCW numbers are declining because of habitat loss due to clearing of juniper and oak forests for grazing and human encroachment.
Solution: build more high rises and stack people in urban areas since a majority of people claim to be extroverted and enjoy one another's company.
(Agapornis nigrigenis) Back from my week away! This is my favourite shot from a visit to Birdworld a few days ago. They are just too cute!

We had dry weather today and Tofu was happy to return outdoors and meet his feathered friends. When I took this photo he sat on the lawn, apparently lost in thoughts, and held the paw to his cheek like this for ages.

a large hornbill ( 75 to 80 cm / 30 to 31 in ) that lives in coastal and montane forests up to 2600m from Ethiopia down to southern Mozambique.
The casque is much larger on the bill of the male than on the bills of females or juveniles.
Omnivorous like other hornbills it eats fruits, small birds and rodents, large insects etc.
