This lovely bird perched on the tip of a denuded Frangipani branch to keep me company as I swam in the pool. My friend Harriet tells me it is a great kiskadee.
Beautiful bird! What IS it? We don’t have anything like that around here! That looks thoroughly tropical. I have never yearned more for warm weather then I do right now. It’ so damps and cold. I think I need something woolly.
I love the children’s book The Big Orange Splot, which mentions a frangipani tree, and I’d never gotten around to looking up what one looks like. Now I know!

Is it an oriole? We have them and it is yellow.. I’ll have to investigate it. I took this from the pool!

This is not a very good photo of the tree. Every year it loses all its leaves. Here is a better photo of a frangipani (plumeria) tree: https://judydykstrabrown.com/2018/07/08/plumeria-sunday-trees-july-8-2018/

Thank you, Judy! That is a much better photo. I’m going to reread the book today with the picture in mind. 🙂

I just zoomed in. They really are beautiful. A tree to relax under with a good book.
