Spotting the ever-elusive birds in the rain forest of the Amazons is a daunting task, especially when vision was never claimed to be my strength. So, when this bird, in broad daylight, presents herself in front of me, I’d wipe my eyes first.

It looks like she is dropping by from Jurassic Park to pay us a visit. I mean, who would give her babies a pair of claws on their wings?
So, what is that bird, you ask.

Ummm, I’d be more interested in asking if she personally knows a dinosaur or two.
Isn’t it fun to be spending time with these odd birds?
I’d say, just as long as I have a real bed in this world to sleep on when the night falls.
Oh please, don’t say this sunset is other-worldly. I need to come back from the Cretaceous, remember?
