Had a great day out in Portland Bill yesterday and the light was just perfect in every way. Made very good use of my K5 with a circular Polerizing filter
Yellow-billed Cardinal is not a crested species, so other than having red on the head, there is nothing very cardinal-like about it at all. It is a very striking species though! The head is bright red, turning black on the throat, making it look like it has a black bib. As the name states, the bill is yellow, almost orange in fact and about the same color as the legs. The underparts are white and the upperparts blackish, and these are separated by a white half collar from the red head. This cardinal is a species of streamside vegetation, being found also around lakes and swamps and often feeding right from the water’s edge. Where it overlaps with the larger Red-crested Cardinal (Paroaria coronata), Red-crested takes habitats in drier and shrubbier habitats, while Yellow-billed is more of the wetland species. However, they both overlap to some extent. The bright coloration and nice song has made them a prime candidate as a cage bird, through parts of Argentina and southern Brazil. It has been successfully introduced to several of the larger islands in Hawaii! Birds of the World.
This fellow was photographed at Pantanal - MT - Brasil.
Happy Wednesday. HBW!

Cyclarhis nigrirostris
(Black-billed Peppershrike / Verderón piquinegro)
The Black-billed Peppershrike is a distinctive songbird of northwestern South America. Found in the subtropical zone on Andean slopes between 1300 and 2700 meters in elevation, this peppershrike inhabits canopy of humid forest in its range in Colombia and Ecuador.
As it remains hidden in the canopy of the forest, the best way to detect the Black-billed Peppershrike is by listening for the song, a rich warbling song composed of short, separated phrases.
Black-billed Peppershrike (Cyclarhis nigrirostris), In Neotropical Birds Online (T. S. Schulenberg, Editor). Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Ithaca, NY, USA. retrieved from Neotropical Birds Online: neotropical.birds.cornell.edu/Species-Account/nb/species/...
The Sword-billed Hummingbird is a charismatic species from Andean South America. It is found from Venezuela and Colombia in the north to Bolivia in the south. The species belongs to a monotypic genus, Ensifera, and is quite different from all other hummingbirds; metallic green and bronzed overall, with a black bill that is slightly upcurved and longer than the body length. This is the only bird species with a bill length that exceeds the body length. When seen perched, the species usually holds its bill quite upright, presumably because of balance issues stemming from this long and relatively heavy structure.

For me one of the most amazing hummingbirds of Ecuador! Taken at the amazing Zuro Loma Reserve.

Thank you all for taking the time to view, like and comment on our work, we appreciate the support very much.
A female broad-billed hummingbird emerges from the shadows at Boyce Thompson Arboretum. If I were to choose my perfect bokeh, it would not be beige, but living in the desert there tends to be a bit of beige around. So you shoot what you see. At least the hummingbird brings a sparkle of green to the scene.
Prong-billed Barbet, really interesting birds. Costa Rica
The prong-billed barbet is a distinctive, relatively large-billed bird native to humid highland forest of Costa Rica and western Panama. It often has been placed with the other barbets in the Capitonidae. However, DNA studies have confirmed that this arrangement is paraphyletic; New World barbets are more closely related to toucans than they are to Old World barbets.-Wikipedia

I was stitting on a bench near the edge of the water when this one flew to a boulder close beside me. Here is a close up showing the red eye ring they sport during breeding season.
William Hawrelak Park. Edmonton, Alberta.
Although it was not far away, this Broad-billed Motmot was perched quietly among vegetation (typical of members of the family) and it was by seeing the characteristic side-to-side movement of the tail that I located it. This individual was on the grounds of the Los Amigos Biological Station on the Rio Madre de Dios in the Amazon Basin in lowland southeastern Peru. [That spot also had the similar but larger Rufous Motmot (Baryphthengus martii), which I did not manage to photograph.]

Southwest Arizona, USA.
"Strong legs and a long, decurved bill give Curve-billed Thrashers the perfect tools for hunting insects in the punishing deserts, canyons, and brushlands that are its home. That long bill also keeps long-legged insect prey at a safe distance and comes in handy for foraging and nesting among spiny plants, especially cacti. This species is so typical of the deserts of the American Southwest and northern Mexico that its whistled whit-wheet call is often the first vocalization that visiting bird watchers learn." - Cornell Lab of Ornithology

Red-billed Scythebill is a widespread woodcreeper of southern Central America and the lowlands of South America. This beautiful songbird is found from Panama south through much of northern and central South America in the under- and midstory of a variety of woodland types, typically below 1000 meters in elevation. This species is highly distinctive in most of its range, where it can be identified by its exceedingly long, decurved, red bill, and generally rusty olive plumage, with buffy streaking on the head, upper back, and chest. Red-billed Scythebill feeds on arboreal invertebrates by hitching along trunks and limbs, and often accompanies mixed flocks of other songbirds.

Stork-Billed Kingfisher, Pelargopsis capensis, Pekaka Emas
This is a very large kingfisher, measuring up to 38 cm in length. The call of this species is noisy. Stork-billed kingfisher is a species of a variety of well-wooded habitats near lakes, rivers or coasts. It perches quietly whilst seeking food, and is often inconspicuous despite its size. It is territorial and will chase away eagles and other large predators. This species hunts fish, frogs, crabs, rodents and young birds. The nest is dig in a river bank, in the decaying tree, or maybe a tree termite nest.
The church used in the movie "Kill Bill" located in the Mojave Desert at 19809 Street East Avenue G, Lancaster, CA
It was also used in the movies Crossroads and True Confessions.
It is actually called The Sanctuary Adventist Church and before that it was the Calvary Baptist Church.
Did some photography at a new location. The majority of the east side of the marsh is in deep shadows for most of the morning, allowing me to capture this grebe moving in and out of the light.
There is one bird that seems to be everywhere, the Pied-billed Grebe. Pied Billed Grebes have an innocent baby like look, they are small, brown, ducklike birds, pied-billed grebes have thick bills with a dark ring in summer; the ring fades in winter. This Grebe swam right up to us so we snapped his photo.
