Local Parrot

Rancho Bernardo, CA

I probably overdo SP's, so I decided to skip another one today and post a bird shot; a rare subject of my lenses. It may not be up to Herb's speed, but a colorful one at the least. Taken at our weekly Farmer's Market here in RB.

The birds nice but that bougainvillea is stunning.

Amazing to capture the parrot jumping through the hoop! Great timing, Robin, with amazing detail! (LOL)
