Brazilian Red Cap Cardinal Happy Feathery Friday!

Brazilian Red Cap Cardinal Happy Feathery Friday! by Ollie_girl.
Happy Splash of Color Feathery Friday!

We were in Hawaii last month. I've seen these birds before, but they always disappear while I'm grabbing my camera! They're super-quick! As we were driving away from the camp up in Kauai's mountains, my husband spotted this bird on a rock. I grabbed the camera and leaned over him and outside the driver's window... to get this guy! YEA! A couple of quick shots and he was gone bye-bye!

I was browsing through your bird shots and saw this and the rooster and thought, "That's just like mine!!" Well, almost. I have pics of both of those from my last trip to Kauai last January. I just love your parrot shots. I had a yellow nape many years ago and miss him soooo much. I just love parrots. Someday I will have another.
