a great bunch of exotics here! great photos of them! i've seen those cardinals posted by a blog friend in hawaii. so cool!
ReplyDeleteJust amazing! The exotic birds are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThose are just gorgeous photos of gorgeous birds! When I lived in the jungle of Bolivia for a year, there were macaws that would perch on the housetop. Brought back a great memory!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful birds and photography!
ReplyDeleteI would really like to see those kinds of birds those birds are just amazing. I think it is funny that the burrowing owl is there. We have some that live here. I wish I could record the sound they make in the spring. It is the most haunting thing I have ever heard.
ReplyDeleteMarvelous photos Debbie, such a lovely variety. Thanks to Eileen and now to you, I can't wait to get back to the National Zoo. It's within easy reach of us so there is no excuse. I've been saying how much I would love to go back there to see the Gorilla Exhibit. We met a delightful couple who were part of a group who donated to this exhibit and they were able to tell us about individual apes. And now I have the bird house to look forward to. Thank you so much for sharing these delightful photos.
ReplyDeleteLots of interesting birds!!! I have never heard of any of these varieties - well, except for the burrowing owl...
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the cherry blossoms in the next post... I really looked those beauties over with a fine tooth comb...
We are getting snow now - can I move away from here?
oh, me too!! Red crested cardinal all the way!
ReplyDeleteFabulous photos of some very interesting birds! I love the red breasted cardinal too. Looks like you had such a great trip!
ReplyDeleteDebbie, they are gorgeous !!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the red crested cardinal. It's delightful.

Wonderful birds! They're all gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI agree the Red Crested Cardinal takes the prize ... but, they are all beiutiful in their own way. I wish they didn't have to live in a zoo, but then I am guessing they are provided a high quality of life by the Smithsonian Staff. Beautiful pictures, Debbie ...
