La Ceja, Colombia; 2.300 meters above sea level.
The Saltators were up until recently considered part of the Cardinal-Grosbeak family (Cardinalidae) but DNA data shows that they are in fact large billed tanagers.
Streaked Saltators are greenish above, with a noticeable white supercilium that ends right behind the eye. They are not particularly large billed for a saltator, but the bill is still sizable and black in color. Below they are off-white with their distinctive streaks, absent from the throat but dense on the breast, belly and flanks.
Streaked Saltator is found in Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guadeloupe, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela.

Those clouds are actually the normal horizontal kind! I flipped the shot over on its right side and presented this from a starling's point of view as they made this aerobatic sharp turn as a flock and briefly flew at right angles to the horizon. I did a little sliding to enhance the clouds a little more.
Happy Nice Wonderful CloudsTuesday!
Taken on a pond in Richmond Park. I was able to get a low angle with the camera at ground level as the bird swam towards me.
The Yellow-faced Grassquit breeds from central Mexico to northern Ecuador and northwestern Venezuela. It was formerly alled with the American sparrows; actually, however, it is one of the tholospizan "finches" which are specialized tanagers (Thraupidae). As such, it is closely related to the famous Darwin's finches. It is a small bird, 10-10.7 cm long. (Wikipedia)

love is like walking up a set of stairs
higher and higher you go,
the harder and harder it gets
rest a moment, then walk again,
harder and harder, fighting on
Poem by me
to purchase my work go here:

Colibri cyanotus (Lesser violetear / Orejivioláceo menor)
The lesser violetear (Colibri cyanotus), also known as the mountain violet-ear, is a medium-sized, metallic green hummingbird species commonly found in forested areas from Costa Rica to northern South America. This species and the Mexican violetear were formerly considered as conspecific and named the 'green violetear'.
The lesser violetear breeds from the highlands of Costa Rica and western Panama; mountains of northern Venezuela, and the Andes from western Venezuela to western Bolivia. It is recorded mostly between altitudes of 1,200 to 2,300 m (3,900 to 7,500 ft). It generally prefers more humid and high-altitude areas, such as cloud forests.
The lesser violetear has four sub-species:
C. c. cabanidis (Heine), 1863) - Costa Rica, western Panama
C. c. cyanotus (Bourcier, 1843) - Colombia, northwestern Venezuela, Ecuador
C. c. kerdeli Aveledo & Perez, 1991 - northeastern Venezuela
C. c. crissalis Todd, 1942 - Peru and Bolivia

Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z06 C8 - 2025 model.
Obviously an 'entry level' vehicle, lol.
The Z06 'flagship' Corvette: a 5.5 litre naturally aspirated V8 engine.
Found today along Central Avenue at Thornleigh in northern Sydney.
Parked outside the entry to the Bunnings Home Hardware Store, and opposite McDonalds (where I had gone to get a coffee from McCafe).
