This is a species I missed seeing in our yard last year. I spent last Sunday morning watching from our deck, and was thrilled to have this guy come in to the feader a few times. He was a tough subject, but managed to stop briefly in a few open spots for a portrait. Glendale, Missouri
A Red-breasted Sapsucker taking a break from drillng sap wells. The RBSA drill rows of shallow wells, and then laps up the sap with their brush-tipped toungue. Image taken at Washougal River Greenway Trail. The RBSA is one of my favorite Woodpeckers.
They get their common name from their habit of jamming large nuts and acorns into tree bark, then whacking them with their sharp bill to “hatch” out the seed from the inside.
The Red-breasted Toucan is the smallest species of Ramphastos. This also is the most southern species of toucan, occuring from east central Brazil south to eastern Paraguay and northeastern Argentina. In parts of its range, in southeastern Brazil, the Red-breasted Toucan overlaps geographically with a distinctive subspecies (ariel) of Channel-billed Toucan (Ramphastos vitellinus). Both of these toucans are superficially similar, with an orange throat and breast, red belly and tail coverts, and red orbital skin. But they easily can be distinguished by bill color: mostly black in Channel-billed, and mostly light green in Red-breasted. These two species also have similar "croaking" vocalizations, although the calls of Red-breasted are more raucous. The two species tend to segregate by elevation, with Red-breasted in montane forests and Channel-billed restricted to the lowlands. Wild - at Sítio Espinheiro Negro - 700 meters above sea level.
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

Another shot from the Tower Grove bubbler. A classic fall warbler, barely distinguishable from the Blackpoll (which have light-colored legs). Unfortunately they seem to be much more common here in the fall than the spring, when they are much showier and easily identified. St Louis, Missouri
The Crimson-breasted shrike (Laniarius atrococcineus), Crimson-breasted gonolek, or the crimson-breasted boubou, is a southern African bird. It has black upper parts with a white flash on the wing, and bright scarlet underparts. What a delight to see these birds at close quarters and to get so many shots of them.
Thank you for viewing, commenting on and faving my photo!

I've never seen one of these before and the local birders and photographers were pretty excited to have one regularly visiting. I've gone several times but only today was able to spot it and spend some time observing its behavior and hearing its songs. Its call goes between something harsh, like a jay, to something sweet like a songbird. It bounced inside and on the edges of a hedge picking insects off the leaves. I read that they are not native to Florida but have taken up a residence here. Otherwise, you need a passport to go see them.
Wikipedia: The orange-breasted trogon (Harpactes oreskios) is a species of bird in the family Trogonidae. It is a colorful, sedentary species that inhabits the lower canopy of the lowlands and forest of southern China, southeast Asia, Borneo, Sumatra and Java.
The species is insectivorous and hunts from a perch. Adults breed between January and May, excavating their nest into dead tree stumps. Both parents cooperate in raising the chicks.
Conservation status: Least Concern
It has been a little over a week now since I last saw these guys visiting the feeder-- not that they aren't around, I just haven't seen them. They are always a welcome visitor...

The lilac-breasted roller is found in savanna and open woodland across sub-Saharan Africa and beyond.. Seen here in Kruger National Park, South Africa.
It’s easily spotted as it likes to perch conspicuously on top of high vantage points like trees and poles, looking for prey on the ground such as insects, scorpions, snails, and rodents. During mating seasons the males fly high to engage in huge dives and swoops whilst making loud calls. [credit SafarisAfricana]
What a graceful wingspread! By using a very fast shutter speed I was able to freeze these fast moving wings in flight. Sony A1, 1/4000, f/5.6, ISO 4000
