Greetings my dear photography lovers

I'm back to tell you about other of our national birds, in this opportunity I bring you pictures of a nice "Azulejo", that I could capture with the lens of my camera, while he rested in the branches of one of the trees of Neen (Azadirachta Indica), which abound in one of the Squares that are in the City of "Lechería", that, as I have already commented on other opportunities, I usually visit during the afternoons. Perhaps, some of you will know this bird with the name of "Tangara Azulado "," Azulejo de Jardín "or" Viudita ", but in the scientific field, its name is Thraupis Episcopus.
