Baeolophus bicolor

I love these acrobatic, animated birds with their mohawks, big eyes and tiny beaks. They are year-round residents in Louisiana and we're happy to have them. Photos taken January 7, 2014.






Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it.

  5. I'm laughing, Gail, remembering our earlier conversation about the abbreviated name for this little bird and wondering if that's why you titled your post as you did. Whatever you call him, he's truly beautiful, as are your photos of him.

  26. This little guy is so dang cute. I love the things you said you love, too. What a cutie.

    I have a friend I have turned on to your blog. She only does Instagram but you can see her on my Instagram tab.

    I love these photo that are pink she did for me {the flowers} http://instagram.com/p/jODuWbAHx_/ and then this one she did with pink enhancements http://instagram.com/p/jODuWbAHx_/.

    Just wanted to share her with you. She doesn't have a blog just instagram. She is a retired high school english teacher and has time now to work on her photography.

    I love you,Gail!!!♥
