Lima birds

For a birder, going to Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Brazil for work is far better than not going at all, but I hope to return sometime soon to any one of those countries just for the birding. I'm home again now but still remembering the sighting just yesterday of the Burnished-buff Tanager in a small park in the middle of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and the Scarlet-bellied Mountain-Tanager last Sunday morning near the church high on Monseratte overlooking Bogota, Colombia. However, since Tanagers rarely pose for photos out in the open, I will post here only more photos of less shy birds that I found in the park in Lima, Peru -- The bright Saffron Finch and the Pacific Dove that is only bright in a very small area around the eye. This dove (which does have a large white wing patch) is now considered to be a separate species from the White-winged Dove that is found in the southwestern U.S.
