What Is That Bird? - Los Angeles Travel Photographer

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, Iโ€™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, Iโ€™d be more interested in asking if she personally knows a dinosaur or two.

Isnโ€™t it fun to be spending time with these odd birds?

Iโ€™d say, just as long as I have a real bed in this world to sleep on when the night falls.

Oh please, donโ€™t say this sunset is other-worldly. I need to come back from the Cretaceous, remember?
