Nuthatch

A common feeder bird with clean black, gray, and white markings, White-breasted Nuthatches are active, agile little birds with an appetite for insects and large, meaty seeds. They get their common name from their habit of jamming large nuts and acorns into tree bark, then whacking them with their sharp bill to “hatch” out the seed from the inside. White-breasted Nuthatches may be small but their voices are loud, and often their insistent nasal yammering will lead you right to them.

Green-headed Tanager

Green-headed Tanager is a bird found in the Atlantic forest in south-eastern Brazil, far Eastern Paraguay,and far north-eastern Argentina. It is a small colorful bird measuring an average of 13.5 centimeters (5.3 in). While essentially a bird of humid forests, it is also common in orchards and parks,as its apparently flashy blue-green coloration camouflage it will among the foliage.

The eclectus parrot

The eclectus parrot (Eclectus roratus) is a parrot native to the Solomon Islands, Sumba, New Guinea and nearby islands, northeastern Australia and the Maluku Islands (Moluccas). It is unusual in the parrot family for its extreme sexual dimorphism of the colours of the plumage; the male having a mostly bright emerald green plumage and the female a mostly bright red and purple/blue plumage. Joseph Forshaw, in his book Parrots of the World, noted that the first European ornithologists to see eclectus parrots thought they were of two distinct species. Large populations of this parrot remain, and they are sometimes considered pests for eating fruit off trees. Some populations restricted to relatively small islands are comparably rare. Their bright feathers are also used by native tribes people in New Guinea as decorations.

Blue-Crowned Motmot

The blue-crowned motmot (Momotus momota) is a colourful near-passerine bird found in forests and woodlands of eastern Mexico, Central America, northern and central South America, and Trinidad and Tobago. As presently defined, it includes several taxa that possibly should be recognized as valid species, including the Andean motmot (or highland motmot), Momotus aequatorialis.

Horned Sungem,

Horned Sungem,a South American Hummingbird, the only species of the genus Heliactin. A wingbeat is one complete up and down movement ,which means that the horned sungem moves its wings muscles at a rate of more than 10,000 per minute. It occurs in Bolivia, Brazil and Suriname. It prefers fairly dry open or semi-open habitats,such as savanna and Cerrado. It avoids dense humid forest.

Kingfisher Bird

Kingfishers are a group of small to medium-sized brightly colored birds in the order Coraciiformes. They have a cosmopolitan distribution, with most species found outside of the Americas.

Toucan Bird

Toucans are members of the family Ramphastidae of near passerine birds from the Neotropics. The Ramphastidae family is most closely related to the American barbets. They are brightly marked and have large, often colorful bills.

White-Headed Buffalo Weaver

Known as the White-headed Buffalo Weaver (the Buffalo bit is derived from their tendency to follow buffalos in order to prey on any insects that they flush), this East African species occurs in Acacia woodland and other wooded habitats in Kenya, Tanzania, Somalia, Sudan, Ethiopia and parts of Uganda. Markus photographed this bird in Kenya.

Passerina Cyanea - Indigo Bunting

The most beautiful bunting - blue bird of happiness, both in appearance and in the vocal data. It inhabits in Canada, the United States to Gr. Antilles, Colombia and Venezuela. Bird hardy and undemanding in maintenance.

Painted Bunting (Passerina ciris)

Observing a male Painted Bunting has been a life long birding dream of mine. They are the most colorful bird in North America and I've been staring at them in bird books since grade school.

Orange-Breasted Sunbird

The orange-breasted sunbird is a small passerine sunbird endemic to South Africa, and is found in shrubland or heathland vegetations called fynbos. Orange-breasted sunbird males average 17 cm long and females 13 cm long. The male's head, throat, and mantle are bright metallic green and the rest of the upper parts are olive green. The upper breast is metallic violet and the rest of the under-side is shades of orange. The female is olive-green on the top-side and olive-yellow on the under-side. These birds have long down-curved bills and brush-tipped tubular tongues. Both of these are adaptations for nectar feeding, the orange-breasted sunbird's primary food source. However, the bird also feeds on insects.

Red-bellied Woodpecker

The red-bellied woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus) is a medium-sized woodpecker of the Picidae family. It breeds in southern Canada and the northeastern United States, ranging as far south as Florida and as far west as Texas. Its common name is somewhat misleading, as the most prominent red part of its plumage is on the head; the red-headed woodpecker, however, is another species that is a rather close relative but looks quite different. It was first described in Linnaeus' Systema Naturae, as Picus carolinus. The type locality is given simply as "America septentrionalis" (North America)

Crimson Breasted Shrike

The crimson-breasted shrike (Laniarius atrococcineus) or the crimson-breasted gonolek, ('gonolek' - supposedly imitative of its call),is a southern African bird. The species is closely related to two other bushshrikes, the yellow-crowned gonolek (Laniarius barbarus) and the black-headed gonolek (Laniarius erythrogaster) of East Africa.
