The buff-necked ibis (theristicus caudatus), also known as the white-throated ibis, is a fairly large ibis found widely in open habitats of eastern and northern South America.
Its diet consists mainly of insects, spiders, frogs, reptiles, snails, invertebrates and small mammals found in soft soils. The female usually lays two to four eggs in a platform nest, made from twigs and branches, in a tree.
The Pantanal is a tropical wetland and the world's largest wetland of any kind. The Pantanal ecosystem is also thought to be home to 1000 bird species, 400 fish species, 300 mammalian species, 480 reptile species and over 9000 different subspecies of invertebrates.

Buff-winged StarfrontletBuff-winged Starfrontlets are appropriately named and have a conspicuous buff-colored patch on their wings. These hummingbirds are rather territorial and often pursue other hummingbirds in high chases, or guard flowers from others from a nearby perch. Buff-winged Starfrontlets inhabit dense cloud forests, elfin forests, and nearby shrubby areas. They are most often seen foraging low around forest borders where they primarily feed on nectar by hovering or briefly clinging to flowers.

I'll be away for a while.
Buff-tailed coronet - These medium-sized hummingbirds display a cinnamon underwing in flight, and other than the bronzy central tail feathers, the tail is notably buffy. Buff-tailed Coronets inhabit humid and wet montane forests, shrubby forest borders, and dwarf forests. They are rather defensive around mid and upper level flowers in the forest, and sometimes congregate with other hummingbirds at trees in the canopy interior. They hold on to flowers when feeding and hold their wings up in a V while doing so.

The queen of the Buff-tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) was basking in the sun on a moss-covered beech tree trunk but didn’t fly away. This species of bumblebees flies early in the season and is known to fly in January-February months. Lansdown, Bath, BANES, England, U.K.
This is the dominant hummingbird of the Rio Grande Valley. Despite its omnipresence in the RGV, I took a couple weeks and several locations to secure any good photos. I caught them high in trees, zipping away from flowers, often only getting a fleeting look. With persistence, though, I managed to find a few that were kind enough to pose and hang out long enough to photograph.

This bird also nests on the Canadian Arctic Islands not far from the North Pole before migrating to the southern ends of Argentina. In August, a few of them will drop down on Michigan where birders eagerly seek them out. I found this bird and another near Muskegon, Michigan.

According to e-bird: Medium-sized hummingbird, mostly dark green with obvious buffy underwing and mostly buffy tail. Fairly short, straight bill. Sexes similar. Found in cloud forest from Venezuela to Ecuador, mostly from 1,500–2,400 m. Usually forages in middle to upper levels of trees. Visits feeders, where it aggressively defends its territory against other hummingbirds.
A real beauty photographed at Zuro Loma Reserve. Wishing everyone a peaceful Sunday!

This little beauty is a rare visitor to South Florida. It's usually found in South Texas but it's been to Florida before.
Thanks so much for the visit!

A Lifer. A rarity in Idaho; I'm told by an authority that this bird has only been reported a few times.
Another old photo from 2018 but one which I haven't published previously.

I saw this bird along with a few other migrants on the shoreline of Lake Ontario. It came so close where I was sitting a few times that I could not focus, almost full frame.
