It’s Winged Wednesday, where feathers, flutters, and flight steal the show! Whether it chirps, buzzes, glides, or hovers—if it takes to the air, it belongs here.
This week is open to anything with wings. Inspired again by Jeffrey’s recent posts, I’ll be sharing bird photos from my journey to the Pantanal in Brazil. All of this week’s images come from the rainforest—lush, tangled, and buzzing with life.
So whether your wings are backyard regulars or tropical wanderers, post away. We want to see what’s zipping through your sky.
Thanks for visiting—and thanks for playing Winged Wednesday!
Magpie Tanager:
With a tail that goes on for days and a tuxedo look that screams "old Hollywood villain," the Magpie Tanager is as dramatic as it is elegant. Bold, loud, and hard to miss—just the way it likes it.
Red-necked Tanager:
The red neck, blue head, green body combo sounds like a toddler’s crayon rebellion—but somehow, this bird makes it work. Like a fashion risk that pays off with every flight.
Green-headed Tanager:
A living jewel that forgot to tone it down. With feathers like a candy store caught in a thunderstorm, this tanager flits through the forest like it knows it’s overdressed—and couldn’t care less.
Yellow-fronted Woodpecker:
Yes, it pecks wood. But it does so in style—with a bold yellow forehead, a touch of red, and a blue-black suit. If superheroes were birds, this would be their sidekick. Handy with a hammer, too.
Bat Falcon:
Sharp-eyed and sharply dressed, the Bat Falcon doesn’t just hunt bats—it is the bat. Silent, swift, and deadly, this rainforest raptor flies like it wrote the manual on aerial ambush.
Yes, the Bat Falcon does hunt bats, and that's how it got its name.
