This Morning Is for the Birds

This Morning Is for the Birds

When I looked out my window this morning, I was delighted to see two of Jerusalem’s local wild parakeet population on the cypress tree across the street. One flew away before I could grab my camera. The other stayed on his (her?) perch for quite a while, giving me time to take pictures.

Hey, there! Are you ready for your close-up?

And here’s a Palestine sunbird in all its iridescent glory.
