  1. There's one more thing! I caught this little guy while I was baking bread today. He was sitting on a pruned birch tree outside the window. Having a camera with a 200 mm lens is standard kitchen equipment if you ask me!

  2. This is a Fernandina's Flicker, photographed in March 2024 in La Chorrera, a kind of water park in northwestern Cuba. I realized I hadn't posted this photo before. This is a critically endangered endemic species, with only 600-800 birds left, found in disjunct scattered locations on the main island. Inhabits open woodland/pastureland with palms, nesting in palm tree cavities, usually excavated by West Indian Woodpeckers. It forages on grubs, worms, ants, termites and seeds. It is at risk of extinction due to deforestation resulting from cattle ranching, slash-and-burn agriculture, logging, invasives, and the pet trade (Cuban Amazon Parrots nest in the same palms, which are cut down to facilitate Parrot capture).
