Nature alert. . .

Lucy has a much better eye for spotting wildlife and critters than I do. I've become used to her seeing things and then getting frustrated when I still can't see what she's all excited about. The other day, though, thanks to some serious finger pointing and a clear shot at what I was looking at, I was able to spot the toucan that was roosted up in a tree, about 50 feet or so from the front of the house. The yellow/green beak was pretty easy to spot, as the rest of the tree was a dark green with the leaves and vines growing around it. The toucan just sat there in the tree, which has a fruit that everyone calls huevos de caballos. The fruit isn't for human consumption, but the birds love it.
