Tocororo, National bird of Cuba. Lucky for me, a guide pointed it out.

Not the best pictures but was very cool to see. Big commotion in the trees with magpies and crows squawking. Went out to see this what I assume was a raven (or a bruiser of a crow) fighting with an owl. The raven is in the picture beside the owl and he was basically the same size. The raven flew to my neighbors house where he made odd clicking noises and taunted the owl. Was cool to see.

**not sure how to get the pictures to post proper direction.

Young Bald Eagle came for a visit this morning & parked in our Poplar Tree next to the Sylvan Golf Course, beautiful bird of prey.
