Olive trees during sunset close to my house

This olive tree was standing in front of a stage which was lighted with green spots. Perfect opportunity to try out the bokeh capabilities of this vintage lens.

Colaptes rubiginosus

(Golden-olive woodpecker / Carpintero verdidorado)

 

The golden-olive woodpecker (Colaptes rubiginosus) is a resident breeding bird from Mexico south and east to Guyana, northwest Argentina, Trinidad and Tobago. It was formerly placed in the genus Piculus. The scientific name rubiginosus means "full of rust", describing the color of the bird's wings and back.

 

The habitat of this woodpecker is forests, more open woodland, and cultivation. It is most common in the mountains. Due to its habitat—mainly montane forest, separated by large rivers—it has evolved into about 20 subspecies. Andean birds show a pale eyering.

 

Golden-olive woodpeckers mainly eat insects, including ants and beetle larvae, with some fruit and berries.

Corfu has 100,000's of olive trees, most of them not cultivated any more as the soil isn't rich enough for the masses of trees. Here's one of the groves still in use.

Thank you my friends for popping by.

I really appreciate your visits, comments & favourites.

Wishing all my Flickr friends a great week ahead

 

Take care and stay safe everyone

 

Thank you

The John Oliver Cabin was constructed in the early 1820’s by John Oliver and his wife Lucretia. The Oliver's were the first permanent white settlers of Cades Cove, which is now part of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Thanks for viewing.

their eagerness

to be wild and perfect for a moment, before they are

nothing, forever?"

This was Olive, my sister's family's dog. She was a loving, quirky dog, slow to warm to people, yet devoted to her family. She passed away last night.

This Olive Warbler is yet another of our target birds in Arizona last week. The first one we found was a youngster so we kept searching until we found this nice adult male. He gave us a surprisingly good look and put some serious smiles on our faces.

Neighborhood cat, actually came out from under the family car to say hello to me.

This tiny bird stopped by to sip honey from the flowers . Enough time for me to grab my camera and click !

Wikipedia: The olive-backed sunbird (Cinnyris jugularis), also known as the yellow-bellied sunbird, is a species of sunbird found from Southern Asia to Australia. Originally from mangrove habitat, the olive-backed sunbird has adapted well to humans, and is now common even in fairly densely populated areas, even forming their nests in human dwellings.

A bird'd eye view of Oliver showing the agriculture that goes on here. We are looking towards the USA here and the far mountain may be in the States. This is the Southern part of the Canadian Okanagan Valley.

We encountered these Olive-throated Parakeets as we were departing a small restaurant where we enjoyed a delicious lunch of gar fish. Thankfully we were prepared with our cameras ready because the parakeets didn’t hang around for long.

 

We will be doing this trip again next spring, if you think you might be interested more information is available here: www.texastargetbirds.com/group-photo-trips/2018-costa-ric...
