One of Brazilโ€™s most beautiful bird! The Araripe Manakin๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท
Endemic to a small area in Cearรก, this species is found only near freshwater springs along the Chapada do Araripe. They are Critically Endangered due to habitat loss and water depletion.

Keeping up the #PSA theme... Keep your eye on what's important. Focus. Do not let yourself be drawn into the crazymaking that is the news cycle today.

This Great White Egret was outside my patio yesterday looking for geckos.
