I knew when I saw that huge tree outside my room that I would have a good chance of seeing birds even though it was windy much of this first week, but finding a nest of baby birds is always an extra treat. First I saw this Yigüirro (local Spanish name) or Clay-colored Thrush (English name) flying into the joint of a sawed-off limb on the tree. After further examination through my telephoto camera lens, and several shots of only the mother sitting on the nest, I managed to get a few shots of the babies’ open mouths and then watch the mother regularly return with food for them. Fun. I’ve asked the hotel to keep me in a room by the tree next week and beyond so I can continue to watch this little family grow. 🙂
Having these nature experiences helps me better bear the tiredness and other side effects of radiation treatments. Glad I’m staying at that hotel! I’m home now, Friday-Sunday night and start again Monday. Just 28 more days to go! 🙂
¡Pura Vida!
Charlie, this is God’s gift to you during this time! Still praying for you
Naomi, you are right! God is so good! Even in difficult times! 🙂
I look forward to more photos of these birds. The tree is lovely and yes, a real blessing to have this view during these difficult days. Praying for you. Mildred
Mildred, yes and yes and thank you so much for your prayers. They DO make a difference! God bless you!
