About a month ago a couple of tropical parulas have been visiting our window, sitting on the ledge, looking in, as if they would like to come inside. We think they actually may be getting insects out of the cobwebs or carrying strands of web to make their nest. They are small and beautiful with blackish blue backs and masks and then in contrast, bright yellow from their lower beak to their underbelly.
Yesterday, a similarly colored but different species, a euphonia, hit our window, recovered in Rebeca's hand and then flew off. Also, yesterday, a really special encounter with four, count them, collared aracaris in the tree right in front of our balcony. Super close and beautiful. A first for Rebeca to ever see this bird. We regretted Asa was at school but we did use his camera for some good shots. (Mine was discharged.)

Sweet little tropical parula who visits us at our windows all the time lately.
