The Birds of the Day!
Today was another bird filled day but felt strangely slow and lethargic. Therefore I'll keep this post short with just a few of the day's highlights.
A blue crowned motmot was the first catch of the day! I was quite excited but none of the pictures with me in it turned out very well. So here are just some shots of the awesome beauty of the blue crowned motmot!
Me holding a kentucky warbler! He's a cute little bugger

Blue crowned manakin. We caught him with a female in the same net at the same time...his lover perhaps? We took a shot of them together and it was precious - AH bird love!
Me holding a buffy throated saltator. I'm making a bizarre face because this is right after the saltator had been occupying himself by knawing on my hand. It was unpleasant to say the least.
Violet sabre wing - a new species for us! Probably my favorite hummingbird thus far.
Tomorrow is our last full day of birding in Las Cruces so I hope that it's full of bright and lovely birdies!
