Yellow-rumped Cacique (Cacicus cela)

Continuing my series of the Yucatan, I'm posting a bird not from the Yucatan but from my Brazil also tropical.


Note:

In Peruvian folklore, this species – like other caciques and oropendolas – is called paucar, or – referring to this species only – paucarcillo ("little paucar")[4]. This species is apparently the paucar that, according to a folktale of Moyobamba, originated as a rumor-mongering boy who always wore black pants and a yellow jacket. When he spread an accusation against an old woman who was a fairy in disguise, she turned him into a noisy, wandering bird. The bird's appearance is thought to augur good news

Hello Everton,
This is a wonderful bird very nicely captured here! I like the POV and the focus on the blue eye. Wonderful details of the colourful plumage and a fine soft background too.
TFS and regards, Ulla

HelloEverton !
Such a beautiful bird, I love the yellowpatches on his back and the blue eyes - they stand out so nicely on the black plumage. His pose is also wondeful, as well s the composition and the POV. Very well done !

Hi Everton,

What interesting bird! Great the contrast between its colours, and excellent details, not easy to show on darks colours.

TFS, Dan.

Hello Everton,
Did you post this photo before? I saved it in my computer from earlier days, because then I found it also an impressive photo.
Anyway, a beauty in high quality!
Regards,
Peter

Hallo Everton
Great shot of this beautiful blue eyed Yellow-rumped Cacique. Fantastic colours and most wonderful details in the feathers. The moment is wonderful. Lovely pose capturing bird from behind, showing feathers in all its glory. Kind regards and thanks for sharing.
