3 Cuban forest birds

[LCPete]

I went out with a bird guide for a couple of days in Cuba.
Paulino found lots of birds including endemics to Cuba.
Here's some forest birds. I found it really difficult getting shots of small birds flitting about in undergrowth but here's some I managed
C&C very welcome

1,Cuban Vireo

2,Thick Billed Vireo

3,Cuban Knatcatcher

4,5 Tody, this little guy posed for me. The light was difficult, I was against the sun but am pleased with these.

Great shots!! you must have been flitting about yourself to keep up with them, that last bird is a little gem #3 looks like our LTT.
Well done

thanks mmcp They are actually related to kingfishers distantly but they are much smaller and live in the forest on insects
