Trupial

Aruba


The Trupial (Turpial in Spanish), Icterus icterus is the national bird of Venezuela, but they can be found in Aruba,Curacao and Bonaire
Trupials are fairly large in size, and brightly colored, a combination of white black orange and blue, the blue is near the eye but you have to get close to see it.
They love to feed on Cactus flowers, it is unbelievable how they can stand on the cactus needles to feed.
Made this photo somewhere along the way in Aruba.
