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.

Have a great day everyone!
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.

Thank you so much everyone for your wonderful comments and I appreciate your time.
The black-cheeked woodpecker (melanerpes pucherani) is a species of bird in subfamily Picinae of the woodpecker family Picidae. It is found from Mexico south to Ecuador. The black-cheeked woodpecker feeds on a very wide variety of arthropods including spiders, beetles, ants, and aerial insects. It also eats much plant material such as fruits, berries, seeds, and catkins, and takes nectar from large flowers in trees.

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!
One more shot of this well camouflaged backyard visitor. Like all other Asian Barbets, they are mainly frugivorous (although they may sometimes eat insects), and use their bills to excavate nest cavities in trees. The main range is along the Western Ghats south from the Surat Dangs and along the associated hills of southern India into parts of the southern Eastern Ghats.
Another image from the Dominican Republic, this time of a White-cheeked Pintail wading along a forested stream.
Thanks for viewing and have a great day!
A chipmunk with its cheeks stuffed with helicopter seeds. I really like this angle for the view of those chipmunk stripes.

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.
The red-cheeked cordon-bleu is originally found in Sub-Saharan Africa (the area that lies south of the Sahara).
(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.
