Mom was actively feeding this baby bird beak to beak. La Ceja, Colombia; 2.300 meters above sea level.
Ortalis columbiana (Colombian Chacalaca / Guacharaca)
Ortalis columbiana is endemic to Colombia, as its name would suggest, and is the only chachalaca within its now relatively limited range in the central (Cauca and Magdalena) valleys of the country. It is found in both humid and deciduous forests, but the species’ range and population are both almost certainly declining, and it survives only in pockets.

Blessed to find this very young fawn. Have not seen one in years. He had a twin that they had stopped on the hill to wait for.

Turdus ignobilis (Black-billed Thrush / Mayo)
Turdus ignobilis is a widely distributed thrush species throughout northern South America and the Amazon, inhabiting a diverse set of habitats ranging from floodplain forests, white sand “campinas”, to highland forests (Andes and Tepuis). There are currently six known subspecies of T. ignobilis, which vary extensively phenotypically and also ecologically.

Mom and the twins!!!
In Talsarnau.
They are so adoreable enjoying playing in the fields in the sunshine.
An iris of special meaning. We transplanted iris bulbs from my 94 year old Mom's house. Yes this picture has been DDG'd and the iris was really a white color. Someday you will see the original white version. May all have a great weekend and go out and get flickr'ized.
Picture taken on May 16, 2020.
Recently, at dusk, a mother moose and this year's calf returned to our area. It was 50 weeks ago when we saw an identical pair eating the wild shrubs in this exact spot. I'm assuming it's the same adult since they are loners (except when parenting) and territorial.
"Moose" comes from the Algonquin word for “eater of twigs.” They forage across a 5+ mile (13km) territory, rutting in the Fall, and then the bulls leave. She will drive off the 1-year-old calf to another area when it's time to have next year's mid-Spring new calf. This youngster is probably around 7 months old.

Hypopyrrhus pyrohypogaster
(Red-bellied Grackle / Cacique candela)
The Red-bellied Grackle is a distinctive rare blackbird of cloud forest in the Colombian Andes. It is large, long-tailed, and heavy-billed with a bright red belly and otherwise glossy black plumage. Red-bellied Grackles moves through the forest in groups, giving a variety of calls. While it has been recorded from all three ranges of the Andes in Colombia, contemporary localities are few.

I was delighted to see this Goldfinch female making her nest this morning! The female strips fibres from dead trees, weeds, and vines and uses grass to construct the outer shell of the nest. She reinforces the rim of the nest with bark bound by sticky spider silk and caterpillar webs. The nest is lined with plant down from thistles, milkweed, and cattails. Doesn't that sound comfy for the little ones? I will be keeping an eye on this nest in the coming days for sure.
