Tuesday's Green Woodhoopoe 05-17-16


Copyright 2016 AJ Horton
Hello and happy Tuesday.  Tonight I want to show you a Green Woodhoopoe, that you can also see in person at the Asheboro NC Zoo Aviary.   There doesn't seem to be as much green as there is blue, but I didn't name the bird.  This bird is from south of the Sahara Desert in Africa.  There's a lot to read about the Hoopoes so if you're interested check out:  http://karlshuker.blogspot.com/2011/03/hoopoe-hoopoe-wherefore-art-thou-bright.html.  The history of the hoopoes goes back at least to Greek Mythology.  Karl Shuker's blog is an interesting read.

I hope you had an interesting Tuesday.  Thank you for looking.  See you tomorrow.
