There are beautiful beaches, a plethora of amazing food and drinks, a multitude of family fun locations, a world-renowned zoo, and one of the biggest birding festivals in the US. My family visited San Diego every year as part of a Disneyland-SoCal Road trip to escape the rainy Christmases at home near Portland, Oregon.

For the purpose of this post being of a reasonable length, I’m only going to touch on members of the Tyrannidae family of New World Flycatchers which can be found in the cocoa estates of Trinidad and Tobago. Even though they belong to the same family, many flycatchers have different habits. Yellow-breasted Flycatcher.

The one bird I did not see here, however, was the Bateleur Eagle … One highlight in the area is the Saddle-billed Stork , likely to be the tallest species in the stork family. Another member of the stork family, the African Openbill , looks like it is could benefit from a good orthodontist. And sadly, it is listed as Endangered.

Pheasant Coucals are cuckoos, but they are very unusual because they actually build their own nests and raise their own young. Earlier this year we encountered a Pheasant Coucal family close to Broome. It “whoops” away from part way up a tree hoping to attract some attention.

Our weather is starting to change and the Torresian Crows that have been silly enough to raise Channel-billed Cuckoos over recent months are now free of their responsibilities.

The dirt road winds in between rocky outcrops – kopjes, by Burchell’s Zebras and Greater Kudus. Nowadays, the Savannah Elephants are shorter and with smaller tusks, often without them. Sniffing us.

So, even if your mother was a brood parasite who left you to be raised by another bird family, she probably did it out of love. Since most of our moms tend to indulge us every other day of the year, it is only right that at least one day is for the moms! Take a moment to tell her that you love her back. Happy Mother’s Day!

Better, though, is finding a way to raise the quality of your bird sightings and enjoyment of them.

In being wonderfully obvious, such birds become avian ambassadors, special “signature” species with the potential to raise bird awareness, to reconnect crucial links between people and the nature that surrounds them, with the ecosystems they partake in.

Encountering exotics raises all manner of questions in birders, the toughest of which rarely center on identification. The reason I ask is because my family and I visited the Bronx Zoo this weekend. July often means travel, which sometimes means tourist attractions, which occasionally means exotic or introduced bird species.

As Watson has put it in the Chapter 1, “while the focus of this book is on families of African birds, there are a few individual species that have somehow come to epitomise Africa, even though they have relatives elsewhere, and commentaries on these appear too. He has authored several other books and many articles, largely on natural history.
