Birds & Boars of Tuscany

Here are a couple of the the birds we should have had the book to identify. I believe the big bird in the yard was an Azure Winged Magpie. Also - I looked up the Hoopoe. What a great sighting for Mom & Steve! Some notes indicate it as a rare bird. BUMMER that I missed that guy! The illusive but every present European Cuckoo. No wonder we couldn't see this him, he's so blandly colored he must blend into every background.

Last but certainly not least...
Here's a baby Chingale - awe he' so cute! Apparently we Mom was onto something when she thought we could use the boars to dig up truffles.

Photos later - what a great trip!
Hugs to all...
