I tried to capture this fellow in this pose several times but he’d flown away by the time I got my camera out. This morning he granted me the favor of a last visit and stood still long enough for me to capture this shot and a number of others—first a few of his mate, whom he replaced when she flew away—and then of him. I’m finally home. There is no place like it!!!

Very pretty bird. Bet you have lots of colorful birds. The warmer the climate, usually the more colorful the birds are. I’m not sure why that is. Maybe it’s all the flowers. Welcome home.

Thanks, Marilyn. Yes, it was plenty warm in Acapulco. We sweltered. Now cool here at home and too tired to go into the hot pool. I’ve been up since 5 a.m.

Captivating little bird, Judy. I am glad he did you the honour of standing still.

I wonder – are all the birds mates the same to him, or does he distinguish differences… Welcome home, Judy.
