Puerto Rico - Day 3 -- a great bird!

Antillean Euphonia

A splash of color entered the nearly naked tree this morning, after a frustratingly long wait for the cook to arrive to make breakfast. However, had we left any early we would have missed this wonderful addition to our list!

Although the Antillean Euphonia is not a Puerto Rico endemic, it is still a prized bird on any trip. Vibrant and active, it seems to leave a tracer of color as it flits from bromeliad to bromeliad.
