BIRDS AND NATURE

THE LONESOME

There´s a bird, the one that I´ll be talking in this new post because call my attention and I would like to share you and introduce you the bird named “LA SOLEDAD” in English could be interpreted as “ THE LONESOME”  and why this bird?

Even when we know that this is the kind of bird that uses to build their nest in rocks with a big fall, it is possible to find it without seeking it. I mean, that is usually saw for people that is eating in a restaurant in the city (Poblado city)  and also when you are driving from the city to our region at 120km, is easy to see it in the street, trees or flying. But this does not mean that when see one of them you won’t get enlaced to keep and keep seeing as they fly over you showing all his majestic colors and beautiful body covered all by green, blue, black, orange and brown plumage.

This is how it looks at simple looking:

Now, why to write about a simple bird .that is too easy to find out? Well, not at all when you know that it is only the opening. Yes, there is one more bird of this kind that even MYSELF have not get yet the opportunity to see, even when I know that it is as near as the mountain here is. His name is “SOLEDAD REAL” in English is something like “THE ROYAL LONESOME”

A decided to post about birds, because even when I´m living in the land of the SMALLEST hummingbird of the whole world I have not saw this ROYAL BIRD but I want to describe you how must it looks as I heard it by my good friend Joseph, last night while were talking and drinking coffee:

The Royal Lonesome, is totally pink, more big that the traditional one you have seen before, but this is very much hard to find and not at all, because above all the green of the grass, of the mountains and under the blue sky you are totally sure that as soon as you find something pink moving around it is because you have find one of them.

That´s the best description my friend could gave me that night. If you are a birds lover, this two bird of a very big nature offer will involve you in the grandiose  and magnificent beauty of the land captured in a simple bird.
