This female Southern Red-breasted Sapsucker is building an inter-subspecies family with a male Northern counterpart shown in a separate picture earlier. Their nest is nearby and she is out gathering food for their chicks.

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
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.

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.
The Lilac-breasted roller is a beautifully colored African bird known for its acrobatic aerial displays during the breeding season. The sexes look similar, and juveniles lack the long tail streamers of adults. This species is unofficially considered the national bird of Kenya.

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

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]
A Red-breasted Sapsucker, pausing for a moment from drilling for insects. The RBSA feeds on sap, bark cambium, insects, especially ants, and some fruits. Photo taken at Salmon Creek Park/Klineline Pond.
Rose-breasted Grosbeak (Pheucticus ludovicianus), breeding adult males are striking black and white with bright red triangle on breast. Nonbreeding males, females, and immatures are streaky below with a bold head pattern. Always look for the very thick, pale pinkish bill. Fairly common and widespread in eastern North America, especially in deciduous forests. Winters to northern South America.
Everyone have a safe and happy Thanksgiving. At least we still have birding to get away from all the craziness in the world. .
