Just read all of yesterday's comments. No, this is not the new camera. How could it be. Maybe the lens was fogged up, as you mentioned. I think it's the higher resolution.
1 year agoThe pictures are nice and sharp! Are you using the new camera here? Or just increased the resolution with the old one?
1 year agoYou should have taken a video!
1 year agoI do too. They have a real elegance to them.
1 year agoI thought you must have changed your technique, because you’ve got some really good shots in there. Something also to think about, if it’s a shot you want to be better quality - with my camera at least, it helps to give the camera time to figure out the image. I can almost see the image gradually improve as I watch, but maybe it’s my imagination.
1 year agoReally tried on the cactus and yellow tree flower... Nice photos, but not much I could find on the internet. Again my reputation is tarnished. Keep up the great nature photography! Loving it!
1 year agoLooks like a Scarabaeidae larva.

Maybe a scrub euphonia?

Fortunately, or maybe not, Steve is getting very skilled at these rear wheel repairs. It only took a little over an hour to fix. Aaaarrrgh.
1 year agoI like how mockingbirds pose so well.
1 year agoRaptors give me fits... I think this gray hawk might be a... gray hawk?

Our worry is that they are on the job, and deciding if we are going to make it through the heat.
1 year agoYellow-throated euphonia?
1 year agoThe tube we bought in Tulum was thick and kind of weird - like it had been fused together from scraps. It was a little hard to get on, but it held up today!

Could easily be. I can’t see much to distinguish the two species actually. And in fact both look very much like the yellow-crowned euphonia and thick-billed euphonia. Steve’s just going to have to go back and get a better picture, but even then I doubt we’d be sure. I wonder if they hybridize, and are really better thought of as a single species with subspecies, like with yellow-rumped warblers.
