Day 134 /365
Why do birds fly south for the winter?
Because it’s too far to walk!
Interesting Fact: It uses its sharp beak to pierce a flower from the side, taking the nectar without actually pollinating the plant. They cannot hover like a hummingbird, and must always perch while feeding. ( http://identify.whatbird.com/obj/1014/overview/Bananaquit.aspx )

What an unusual name! 🙂
Yes it is, and it is an unusual little bird, full of energy and super quick. 🙂
This gave me a good chuckle 😃 I would have to see his other side to judge if this is his “good side” 😜
I agree, everywhere I moved to get a different side of him he would move with me and only show that side. So this is how I came up with this title. 🙂
Love the caption!
Thank you, this little bird lived up to this caption. Each time I moved to snap a photo of him he would move and show that side. 🙂
How cute is that!
What a fascinating looking bird with an equally fascinating name! 🙂
Yes it is, and so small and adorable. Truly amazing I was happy to come across him in Dominican Republic. 🙂
In the Dominican Republic – how nice! And such a beautiful photo to remember him by. 🙂
