  1. Frubecula

    Pluvialis dominica? or fulva?

    Location: RNLED, Canidelo, V.N. de Gaia, Portugal, 41°8'8" N 8°39'49" W Date: 2023-06-09 An individual next to two p. squatarola and one t. totanus. I attach eight photos. More relevant photos on the eBird list: https://ebird.org/portugal/checklist/S140961617 I have photos from other angles...
  2. Belted Kingfisher

    Belted Kingfisher

    I was surprised by seeing where this Kingfisher had chosen to place itself. That is the main reason I uploaded, I do not think it is the greatest portrait ever.

  7. Purple-throated Carib

    Purple-throated Carib

    It is rare to catch the angle to the sun where the throat really shines. Most often, it is the wing and the rump that makes it worth while to look at.

  10. Lesser Antillean Flycatcher

    Lesser Antillean Flycatcher

    This is late summer so the uppermost tail feathers have been moulted (they are like the outer vanes of those visible here). Therefore, the more contrasting pattern of the next pair can be easily seen on this image.

    Lesser Antillean Swift - 3

    This image is not truly sharp enough, but I was surprised by the amount of color this swift was hiding. Niels

    I had not expected I would be able to see the grey area at the rump which is just hinted at in the field guides.

  14. Lesser Antillean Saltator

    Lesser Antillean Saltator

    This looks pretty wet. I am not sure if there had been a shower just before (not surprising if there were) or if it had been bathing.

    I assume this is an adult female. A male of this size should start to show black coloration

  20. Fledged Gray Kingbird

    Fledged Gray Kingbird

    The left hand bird is adult and the right hand bird left the nest either yesterday or today. It seemed the morsel that the parent was trying to feed it was a bit on the big side, a good deal of it ended up in the stomach of the parent ;)

    One more image from today. This was a little closer than the warbler and twice the length so about 8 times the bulk.

    One from our back yard today. It does not often sit still at all, but this one did. The only thing missing would have been a little more light ;)
