A spectacular little trail near Machu Picchu takes us in half an hour to the Inca Bridge. This suspension bridge could be raised or lowered to control access to the citadel.

This is an Inca dove. These are very small doves somewhere between the size of a sparrow and an American robin. They like it warm and inhabit southern states from Texas over to California and throughout Mexico. If temperatures drop too low at night, they'll do what's called pyramid roosting, huddling in a group up to 3 doves high. That'll keep you toasty 😁
This species of dove is quite a bit smaller than some of its cousins like the Mourning Dove and Collared Dove. Its small size and "scaled" plumage make it quite distinctive and easy to identify.
We found this one in the Rio Grande Valley, Texas.
Cold rainy, snowy day made for lots of time to re-edit images of years past. Built around 1450 and still looks amazing.

One of four Inca Doves finds a sunlit spot near my campsite at Goose Island State Park, Lamar, Texas.
The Inca Road is one of the most extraordinary feats of engineering in the world. By the 16th Century it had helped transform a tiny kingdom into the largest empire in the Western hemisphere.
But ironically, it was the Inca Road that hastened the demise of its creators.
When the Spanish reached the Pacific coast in 1532 the empire was weakened by internal fighting and smallpox. And the same road that had given the Inca unprecedented access to every part of their kingdom now did the same for the conquistadors.
Ollantaytambo is known to be the last Inca stronghold before the fall.
One of the most visually stunning Inca ruins is at Moray. The circular terraces are thought to have been used as an agricultural research station. Their depth, design, and their orientation are designed around the position of the sun at various times of the year.
The Collared Inca is a large hummingbird and an extremely quick flier that generally stays below the canopy of moss-laden cloudforests. Both males and females have white outer tail feathers and large white chest patches, both in strong contrast to its otherwise dark plumage. While haunting its dark, understory habitat, its generally dark plumage keeps it well hidden, and the first sign of its presence is the flashing open of its mostly white tail. identifies itself in the forest by flashing open its mostly white tail. It prefers long, pendulous, tubular flowers, hovering underneath to feed. Unlike the majority of hummingbirds, the Collared Inca appears especially prone to join mixed species foraging flocks of passerines, at least for short periods of time. Several studies have investigated its reproductive biology, but there is much to learn about this large, flashy, Andean hummingbird. Picture taken at Zuro Loma, Ecuador.
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

Like all animals, birds need water to survive. Though they can extract some moisture from their food, most birds drink water every day. Birds also use water for bathing, to clean their feathers and remove parasites. After splashing around in a bath for a few minutes, a bird usually perches in a sunny spot and fluffs its feathers out to dry. Then it carefully preens each feather, adding a protective coating of oil secreted by a gland at the base of its tail.
For these reasons, a dependable supply of fresh, clean water is attractive to most birds. In fact, a birdbath will even bring to your yard birds that don’t eat seeds and wouldn’t visit your feeders. Providing water for birds can also improve the quality of your backyard bird habitat and should provide you with a fantastic opportunity to observe bird behavior.

Esta figura facial de un Inca se puede apreciar sobre la ladera derecha del camino que va al Fuerte de Samaipata. Por el momento no se sabe si es una figura hecha por la mano del hombre o es un accidente natural.
Located behind the colonial church, the archaeological site of Chinchero also includes well preserved Inca terraces.
