The sunbirds are a group of very small Old World passerine birds which feed largely on nectar, although they will also take insects, especially when feeding young. Their flight is fast and direct on their short wings. Most species can take nectar by hovering, but usually perch to feed most of the time.

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.

Olives certainly are not as tasty as sweets, but it is definitely more useful.

So there you go, oh

Can't make a wife out of a ho, oh

I'll never find the words to say I'm sorry

But I'm scared to be alone

You cut out a piece of me, and now I bleed internally

Left here without you (no, no, no), without you (ooh, ooh)

And it hurts for me to think about what life could possibly be like

Without you (no, no, no), without you (no, no)

 

Thanks for your comments and faves,they are truly appreciated

E quando guardi con quegli occhi grandi, forse un po’ troppo sinceri, sinceri, si vede quello che pensi, quello che sogni…

 

And when you look with those big eyes,

perhaps a little 'too sincere, sincere,

you see what you think, what you dream ...

their eagerness

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

nothing, forever?"

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.
