    Brown-crested Flycatcher

    I assume that it is missing at least one tail feather allowing the rufous on the inner web to shine through.

    Grasshopper

    This was a very large grasshopper sitting eating from the flower. I have not by a quick search found a species name for it, does anyone know?

    Vermilion Cardinal immature

    I assume this moth-eaten bird is a young male moulting into the adult plumage. It was too close to contain the entire bird within the frame!

  19. Size comparison

    Size comparison

    The parrot is actually smaller than the flycatcher! The left hand bird is a Green-rumped Parrotlet and the other is a Gray Kingbird. Instead of trying to save an image that turned out too dark, I turned it into black-and-white, I hope you like the effect.

    House Wren

    I think the local form of House Wren had a really long bill. It is subspecies effutitus according to the field guide but seemingly not recognized by Clements.

    I do not know which age group this one belongs to. Most likely subspecies beldingi (or possibly local rarity wilsonia).
