#birdoftheday #BirdSupermodel #UnsungBirds A Yellow Jay with a fierce stare. We have roosters galore, but the world is this guy's runway. The Andean Motmot has eyes for the camera. I see Tropical Mockingbirds every day but never tire of their sleek elegance.

#music #jazz #guitar I was inspired by the Larry Coryell video I posted a few days ago to make this new song in D Phrygian, No Time Like Now. Two guitars (Fender Telecaster DC-90, Gretsch 5120), organ, bass, drums. Now I really need a band. soundcloud.com/garyknyc/no-...

No Time Like Now

This song is inspired by Larry Coryell/Bernard Purdie/Chuck Rainey. I play a Fender Telecaster DC-90, a Gretsch 5120, organ, keyboard bass, with a drum loop, using a Phrygian mode in D.

#music #jazz #guitar I never knew about this power trio. If you haven't heard Spaces, the album he did with John McLaughlin in 1970, I highly recommend it. Here he's with Bernard Purdie and Chuck Rainey. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KD3a...

#birdoftheday #BestOfTheMonth Pretty good month despite the clouds and rain. First sighting of a Blue Headed Parrot. Spectacled Parrot peeking out of a woodpecker hole. Rufous Tailed Hummingbird. A Golden Tanager and Scrub Tanager almost sharing a meal (the former made the latter flee).

#birdoftheday #BokehBirds Had to look up bokeh. Luckily, today's pics were mostly like that. A Tropical Kingbird with avocados. A Red Capped Woodpecker in the same tree. An Andean Motmot looks up at its mate. A Golden Tanager and a Scrub Tanager discuss nibble order. The Golden Tanager prevailed.

#birds #birdoftheday My battery ran out after 20 pics, but most of them were of this one hummingbird, so no theme pics today unless cows count also. This is a Rufous Tailed Hummingbird, 3.5 inches of appetite.

#myhometown #Colombia Today is the 175th birthday of Tunia, the village of 1800 in the Colombian Andes where I live a pretty sweet life. Here are some pics of the kids in town in a big parade with some of the adults.

#birdoftheday #ODG I've never seen owls in Tunia, but they probably exist, nor have I seen ducks or geese in the wild. Here are three geese with three roosters and two minipigs at my friend's animal shelter.

#birdoftheday #BirdsInAbstract An intriguing shape high in a tree turned out to be a Bronze Winged Parrot. A big bird flew straight at me then rose and landed 30 feet up--a Bare Faced Ibis. Last shot is an Orange Bellied Euphonia that flew away before autofocus could catch up with it.

#my911 When I arrived at my office, people were running outside and looking south. I was late and went inside to the elevator where I heard a plane had hit the World Trade Center. From my office window, I watched the towers burn and fall. The smell of death lingered for months. I hate today.

We're have a tremor right now in Colombia, locally very mild but I can feel it.

#birdoftheday #BrightAccents The female and male Flame Rumped Tanagers tend to stand out visually, and their one-note call is piercing and distinctive. The Squirrel Cuckoo is a bit elusive, but there's no mistaking it in the open.
