Fun with birds. . .

Unfortunately, no picture with this, so you'll have to use your imagination a bit.

Yesterday at breakfast, we were in the rancho with the guests, when suddenly, a racket kicked up high up in the skies.

Patricia and Seidy came out of the kitchen really quick and started yelling "Lappas, lappas!"

It took a few seconds for the editorial department to process lappas into English, and by that time, I had missed the opportunity.

They were Scarlet Macaws, two red ones and one blue one. They are rare in this area and we don't see them very often. Beautiful, big birds with brightly colored plumage.

They sound like geese being waterboarded, though, a very disturbing noise.

Miguel and Keneth were able to see them flying over as they were down on the driveway working at the time.
