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.

Many thanks to all who view, comment and fav my images.
Have a great day everyone!
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.

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!
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.
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.

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