    Great Kiskadee

    Hi, fellows.

    This great kiskadee just payed me a visit this afternoon. I had just arrived home, from work, and found this adorable friend on my neighboor's side. Not wild life shots (I am already missing Pantanal!), but I decided to share them with you. C&C welcomed, as always.

    Regards,

    Hi Otavio,

    Does the TV aerial matter? No I don’t think so. It comes to show that these beauties live amongst us in our man made world.
    As always, nice, sharp, clear images coming from you.

    Hi, Andre. Thank you very much for viewing and commenting. And yes, these guys are quite adapted to live in cities, really close to "our" world.

    Cheers,

    Nice work Otavio. Sharp images, nice color. Does wild life have to be in the jungle or wild places? I think not, as long as it is free.

    Re: Great Kiskadee

    Otavio,

    The great kiskadee is a beautiful bird and eats insects. He is very courageous: if a hawk is near his nest, the kiskadee attacks and tries to fend the hawk. That is why he is one of my favorite birds.

    And about your photos: the pictures are nice and sharp, as always.

    All the best,

    Antonio.

    Hello, Antônio. I appreciate your comments. Yes, the "Bem-te-vi", as we call it here, is a wonderful bird!
