That is a beautiful bird. I like birds. Birds-of-prey especially, but colorful tropical birds come in second. Like the Green-naped Rainbow Lorikeet, the Golden Pheasant, and Birds of Paradise. The Red-Tailed Hawk is still my favorite of birds, though. You see them everywhere. They're always around Costco (as are snowy owls and cougars, apparently; the Costco my dad works at has had visits from both).
ReplyDeleteI have always loved Cardinals but this just might be my favorite of all birds. It is awesome. Thanks for all the Info. Enjoyed it very much.
