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.
Franciscan Monks took olives to Central America and moved North through the missions of Mexico. In 1769, the first olive cuttings were planted in California at the San Diego Mission where the olives thrived in California’s climate.

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)

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.

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.

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.

I photographed this bird at Jerrabomberra Wetlands in Canberra. I am thinking it is an olive-backed oriole. Please let me know if you think it may be something else.

Gaztelugatxe, Bermeo, Vizcaya, País Vasco, España.
Gaztelugatxe es un islote de la localidad vizcaína de Bermeo, País Vasco, España. Está unido al continente por un puente de dos arcos. Sobre la isla hay una ermita dedicada a San Juan que data del siglo X, aunque algunos descubrimientos datan del siglo IX. Dicha ermita se edificó sobre los restos de un castillo adscrito al Reino de Navarra y que fue asediado, sin ser tomado, por las tropas castellanas. Junto con otra pequeña isla vecina, la de Aqueche, forma un biotopo protegido, que se extiende desde la localidad de Baquio hasta el cabo Machichaco en Bermeo, en el golfo de Vizcaya.
La costa vizcaína en este lugar es agreste. El mar trabaja sin cesar erosionando la roca, areniscas y duras calizas de arrecife, y tallando en ella túneles, arcos y cuevas. La isla de Gaztelugache es el corazón de este interesante tramo de costa, junto con la pequeña isla de los conejos, la isla de Akatx, paraíso de las aves marinas.
Sobre la isla de Gaztelugache hay una ermita consagrada a San Juan. Junto a la ermita hay un pequeño refugio que permite protegerse del viento y poder realizar una merienda disfrutando del mar y de las aves que anidan en estos lares.
El acceso es espectacular. Un estrecho camino que parte de tierra firme y cruza sobre las rocas por un puente de piedra permite llegar hasta la zona superior del islote después de ascender 241 escalones. El camino se encuentra asimismo jalonado con las sucesivas estaciones de un Viacrucis. Suele ser tradición entre los caminantes tocar la campana de la ermita, como símbolo por el esfuerzo realizado, una vez ascendidos los 241 escalones.3 El esfuerzo merece la pena.
El islote está atravesado por túneles y hay numerosos arcos. A sus lados se abren playas de piedra que suelen ser muy utilizadas por los buceadores.
La costa, acantilada, está cubierta de vegetación. Destaca en esta el endemismo vasco y el acebuche y sobre ellos hay árgomas, encinas y brezos. En el mar, de fondos rocosos, existen praderas de algas, con especies como las laminarias o saccorhizas. La población piscícola es la típica del Cantábrico, donde abundan lubinas, fanecas, congrios o chicharros, y se completa con babosas, carraspios, julias e invertebrados como actinias, erizos, holoturias, pulpos, nécoras y centollos, además de los percebes que se encaraman en la roca.
Las aves marinas son muy abundantes. La existencia de espacios amplios, como la isla de Aqueche a la que solo se pueden acceder por mar, hacen que puedan reproducirse con tranquilidad. Entre las aves que crían aquí destaca, por su rareza y pequeño tamaño, el paíño común. Abundan además, las gaviotas patiamarilla, los cormoranes moñudos y las palomas bravías.
Aunque hay frecuentes discrepancias respecto a qué municipio pertenece el istmo de Gaztelugache, este se encuentra dentro de los límites de la Villa de Bermeo.
Gaztelugatxe is an islet in the Vizcaya town of Bermeo, Basque Country, Spain. It is linked to the mainland by a two-arch bridge. On the island there is a hermitage dedicated to San Juan that dates from the 10th century, although some discoveries date from the 9th century. Said hermitage was built on the remains of a castle attached to the Kingdom of Navarra and which was besieged, without being taken, by Castilian troops. Together with another small neighboring island, that of Aqueche, it forms a protected biotope, which extends from the town of Baquio to Cape Machichaco in Bermeo, in the Bay of Biscay.
The Biscayan coast in this place is wild. The sea works incessantly eroding the rock, sandstone and hard reef limestone, and carving tunnels, arches and caves in it. The island of Gaztelugache is the heart of this interesting stretch of coast, together with the small island of rabbits, the island of Akatx, a paradise for seabirds.
On the island of Gaztelugache there is a hermitage consecrated to San Juan. Next to the hermitage there is a small shelter that allows you to protect yourself from the wind and to be able to have a snack enjoying the sea and the birds that nest in these parts.
The access is spectacular. A narrow path that starts from the mainland and crosses over the rocks by a stone bridge allows you to reach the upper part of the islet after climbing 241 steps. The road is also marked out with the successive stations of a Via Crucis. It is usually a tradition among walkers to ring the hermitage bell, as a symbol of the effort made, once the 241 steps have been ascended.3 The effort is worth it.
The islet is crossed by tunnels and there are numerous arches. On its sides there are stone beaches that are often used by divers.
The coast, steep, is covered with vegetation. The Basque endemism and the wild olive tree stand out in this area, and on top of them there are gorse, holm oaks and heather. In the sea, with rocky bottoms, there are seaweed meadows, with species such as laminarias or saccorhizas. The fish population is typical of the Cantabrian Sea, where sea bass, pouts, conger eels or mackerels abound, and is completed with slugs, carraspios, julias and invertebrates such as actinia, sea urchins, holothurians, octopus, crabs and spider crabs, as well as barnacles that perch on the rock.
Sea birds are very abundant. The existence of wide spaces, such as the island of Aqueche, which can only be accessed by sea, means that they can reproduce with ease. Among the birds that breed here, due to its rarity and small size, the common storm petrel stands out. There are also plenty of yellow-legged gulls, shags and rock doves.
Although there are frequent discrepancies regarding which municipality the Gaztelugache isthmus belongs to, it is within the limits of the Villa de Bermeo.
Was down at the Botanic Garden this morning shooting our winter visitors - the Common Kingfisher and Crake. Managed to grab a few shots of the native Sunbird.
Thank you my friends for popping by.
I really appreciate your visits, comments & favourites.
Wishing all my Flickr friends a beautiful weekend.
Thank you

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...
