Just when I think I have seen all the coolest, most colorful birds, I stumble across this photo of a Wilson’s Bird-Of-Paradise.

I think you will agree that it is phenomenal.

This beautiful bird is native to Australia and Tanzania.

This photo was taken near Panama City Beach, Florida by me. It is an osprey nest being protected by momma and daddy, It is truly amazing at how far these birds had to fly all these branches to build this huge nest.

As a young boy, I always thought this bird had a strange name. You know a cock to be a rooster, and then learn a slang term for the word cock, and it all seems so strange.

Whatever the case, the bird itself is very cool looking and one of my favorites. I believe it is geographically located to Peru and the Andes Mountains.

This photo was taken near Galveston, Texas, by another photographer, in one of the musicians yards that I have played with in the past. I learned the mother had four eggs, but only two chicks made it. Killdeers are cool because they run fast like roadrunners and they are pretty.

This photo was taken by me at Hermann Park pond in Houston. Humans can learn something from ducks. Do you notice how this mother is with her children and she has an eye on them?

I never knew this bird existed until someone saw me looking at peacocks and said,”Have you ever seen a white peacock?” I thought to myself,”No way! A white peacock?” Well, it does exist. This bird should be used at weddings. It is beautiful!

These baby mockingbirds are in an orange tree with plenty of thorns. I doubt anything will ever eat them, as I have watched the mother, and father return every year to the same nesting location. I had to be quite careful not to get cut on thorns to get this macro photo.
