Golly! That’s some of the prettiest greenery bokeh I’ve ever seen. It’s a shame you don’t seem to be on Instagram. (Right? I’m sure this has come up before and I just haven’t seen it.)
Chris: take a look: a Flickr album made by Enrique Meneses himself, the very first photojournalist in Sierra Maestra: https://www.flickr.com/photos/enriquemeneses/albums/72157600334951300
Fidel, Raúl, Camilo Cienfuegos and other “barbudos”… That album is a treasure, as was Meneses -an amazing adventurer in journalism, who became a balanced critic of Castro.
I haven’t shared pictures before. Here’s a Rufous hummingbird, the only one ever identified in my county in Wisconsin (they’re west coast birds typically):

Very nice! I’m a birder as well as a shutterbug–and I know how difficult it is to get great birding pictures.

Bill, I am on Instagram I think, but I don’t use it. Maybe I should.
JRLRC, thanks!

I’m ashamed to admit that I have no photos of actual Icteridae. A crow will have to do.
