LOVE this. I have seen flocks before, but never nesting. Great spot!
Alice- He could have easily seen them if he visited you in Sarasota...what's he doing in Ecuador? Thanks Lauren
These are the ones that Caleb wanted to see. He is back in Ecuador right now.
Beautiful series! What little pretties they are!
Gorgeous! I love the last shot! What an interesting pairing of all those birds!
