During my trip to Brazil, I think I saw more birds in my two weeks there than in my whole life. I couldn't help but notice the distant relationship between many of the species there and here in the US.
Let me know in the comments if you notice any that you could relate to.

Not long ago, just like many others, I was misnaming this beautiful giant. Although a decent portion of its head is red, it is NOT a "Red-head Woodpecker" (👈 Yes, I know that's also incorrect 😬).
This is North America's largest woodpecker, the Pileated Woodpecker. When you see one out in public, make sure you put some respect on its name. 😎

There is a monster buck that hangs out in my backyard from time to time. I named him King 👑🦌.

There are a few resident Cooper's Hawks that visit my backyard a few times a year. Sometimes, they'll grab something to go from the bird feeder.

Have you ever encountered a Giant River Otter? I don't know what's more intimidating: their vocalizations, size, or appetite.
They are extremely powerful swimmers that can grow up to 6 feet long, weigh up to 75 lbs, and eat 10-15% of their body weight every day.
Hope you enjoyed.

This morning was different. I enjoyed the dawn chorus 🐤🎶 in the company of the moon 🌖.
Looking at the moon makes me wonder about our existence and how a giant rock over 200,000 miles (350,000km) away balances life here on Earth.
If you haven't heard of the dawn chorus, it's the early part of the morning when the birds break out in song 🎶. I enjoy listening with my eyes closed 😌.

When was the last time you looked at something old but tired to see something new 🤔? That's my approach when I come across the ordinary; I try to see it as extraordinary.
Last year, I spent quality time with Canada Geese, and they are extraordinary!

Life is a balancing act, and vultures do a great job playing their part. In this case, figuratively and literally, for this Black Vulture feeding on the carcass of a floating Caiman 🐊, in the Brazilian Pantanal. Black Vulture

I endured the weather so you wouldn't have to. Take a moment to enjoy a Red-winged Blackbird in the rain.
