There were several Western Meadowlarks (Sturnella neglecta) competing for singing honors at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge.
A big thank you to Peter Stahl for giving me this great opportunity to photograph a Western Grebe carrying her young ones.

Portrait of western lowland Gorilla, Espace Zoologique, Saint Martin La Plaine, France
The western lowland gorilla (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) is the most widespread of all gorilla subspecies.
But it is one of two Critically Endangered subspecies of the western gorilla that lives in montane, primary and secondary forest and lowland swampland in central Africa in Angola, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon.
Large numbers have not protected the western lowland gorilla from decline. Because of poaching and disease, the gorilla’s numbers have declined by more than 60% over the last 20 to 25 years.
Even if all of the threats to western lowland gorillas were removed, scientists calculate that the population would require some 75 years to recover.
One of my favorite Spring and Summer visitors! A Western Kingbird perched on barbed wire for the best vantage point to catch flying insects. Photo taken in Bickleton, Washington.
In open parklands of the American West, brilliant blue-and-rust Western Bluebirds sit on low perches and swoop lightly to the ground to catch insects. Deep blue, rusty, and white, males are considerably brighter than the gray-brown, blue-tinged females. This small thrush nests in holes in trees or nest boxes and often gathers in small flocks to feed on insects or berries, giving their quiet, chortling calls.

(Western Emerald / Esmeralda occidental)
La Ceja, Colombia; 2.300 meters above sea level.
The Western Emerald is found in Colombia and Ecuador. They have a more straight flight pattern than do many hummers, and forage individually at flowers in the lower and middle strata. Males sparkle with green throughout while females are green above and gray below.

Went back this evening and found a nice spot and better angle this time around. The lighting was even from this side which was nicer. It was great seeing the tufts raised also.

Though not as colourful as her mate, she is none the less a pretty bird!
