these birds are very anonymous during the year but in the breeding season

Pitangus sulphuratus (Great Kiskadee / Bichofué gritón)
The Great Kiskadee is one of the larger and more showy tyrant flycatchers and exhibits an array of interesting behavior.
Unlike most tyrant flycatchers, the Great Kiskadee freely displays its bright crown stripe. When especially excited, it erects its yellow crown feathers, forming an ephemeral crest.
The Great Kiskadee’s total range extends from south Texas through Mexico and Central America to central Argentina. It is found on some Caribbean islands, e. g. Trinidad, and has been introduced to Bermuda.
Something opens our wings.
Something makes boredom and hurt disappear.
Someone fills the cup in front of us: We taste only sacredness.

Thank you for viewing
Hoopoe (Upopa Epops) The hoopoe with its impressive head feathers always reminds me of a Native American Chief in full headdress. (Minus the bug of course)!

Unlike many other lazy males, it is the male Great Blue Heron that builds and takes primary responsibility for maintaining the nest. Once built, to attract a mate he begins a display where he squats down, raises up calling lifting his beak to the sky. It’s sad to see a male go through a season, building a nest, displaying over and over again to no avail. Maybe it’s his first or possibly last season or there is a shortage of females. Unknown. Maybe he just built a lousy nest and no female would approve. Anyway, one he has successfully attracted a mate he will continue to bring nesting material and pass the sticks to the female who will work to intertwine them with the existing sticks to further solidify the nest. Quite a show. This guy is shown at the apex of the display on, what looks like to me, a fine nest and I liked his display too. (OK, hold those comments wise guys). (Great Blue Heron - Ardea herodias). (Sony a1ii, 400mm lens, f/2.8, 1/2500 second, ISO 4000).
"The Loveliest Castle in the World" is just along the road from where i live had their firework display this evening I was lucky to have some press passes to go and watch and take pictures
Various types of succulents carefully planted in a magnificent display in a large container. A large moreton bay fig tree is in the background.
for all the people who just hit the FAVE button and move on, there is this thing called the comment box. You might try using it once in awhile. I notice that a lot of the people who never comment are those who have a thousand or more contacts they follow which seems just ludicrous. How can you possibly connect with that many people here unless you do nothing else in your life. So if you hit the fave button in the hopes I will come and make you a contact, forget it. Doesn't work that way with me.
This display is part of the male great egret's courtship behavior. A nearby female watched him perform his ritual. It worked:)

The blue tone had felt cool in the summer night,
although it was 38℃ in the daytime.
Now, it's too hot in Japan.
