Three-wattled bellbird, Male DSC_5518 by Beverly Thornburgh

61 22

I understand my family and I were very lucky tourists the day we saw this beauty. First, the trail we wanted to hike was closed because the company only gives night hike tours as far as we could tell upon arrival. There wasn't anyone at reception and there wasn't any information to read about the operation hours of the trail.

However, as luck was on our side, an employee stopped by for a moment and we asked if we could hike on our own. So the employee made a call and said yes, we can go and only charged us eight dollars each.

During that hike we saw a lot of Blue Morpho butterflies flitting about and other butterflies but I don't know what those were. We also got to watch leaf cutter ants as they marched from the leaves to the ant hill. That ant hill is enormous.

Not far into the hike, this guy started calling and of course we followed the calls. He was pretty far up in the tree but I did manage to get a couple of images before he flew out of sight.

We mentioned the sighting to a tour guide on a different hike and he stated that people come from all over the world to try and see this bird. However, most of the tourists go home with out even a glimpse of him. The tour guide was excited for us and said like most tourists, he has not seen one except in photographs.

So yes indeed, my family and I feel very fortunate for having the opportunity to see and hear this beauty in the wild.

May good fortune be with you today and always. Happy snapping.

What is the difference.. by Ashley1954

26 104

.... between "I like you" and "I love you? "

Beautifully answered by Buddha :

When you like a flower, you just pluck it.

But when you love a flower, you water it daily.

One who understand this, understands life.

Please, no fave without comment or award!
