Nestlings and fledglings are cute but adults birds, like this Indigo Flycatcher we caught, are absolutely stunning!

No one works harder than a mother! Happy Mother's Day!!

@evornithology This nest belongs to a Mountain-leaf Warbler. One of the many species we find that nest in the sides of banks!

[TropicalBirdBiology @TropicalBirdBio]

Our favorite type of Easter egg hunt! See if you can find theses eggs! Hint: they are in a nest! Second pictures=answer! #egghunt #birds

@evornithology We put radio telemetry on nearly all of our fledglings.
