Euphonia, Violaceous
Here is a picture of a “Violaceous Euphonia” singing loudly.
The weather yesterday was a bit dreary, so I took my folks to the Como Park Conservatory for a look at the new Tropical Encounters exhibit. They have about 12 different bird species flying in an open environment. Except for the 100% humidity, it is a great place to practice finding and photographing small brightly colored tropical birds.
