The Trogon family (and order, since the order only includes one family) is quite widespread, being found in all the tropical (and some subtropical) regions of the world. It is also fascinating to see how similar Old World trogons look to their New World relatives, right down to the same flamboyant color patterns.

As our Gypsy comes to a halt, one Oriental Honey Buzzard is investigating the new arrivals. There’s a Sloth Bear in tall, dry grass, barely 50 metres from us, but all we can see is a dark, shape-shifting shadow that eventually becomes all but invisible. Finally, the shores of the Telia lie in front of us. The Telia Lake.

That’s right – birds eating clay. The crowd of macaws is soon joined by parrots arriving as if on cue and bearing their colorfully named body parts: Yellow-crowned , Blue-headed , White-bellied , Orange-cheeked , and Mealy – followed by two species of parakeets – Dusky-headed and White-eyed. Wicked, right? Hat-tip to Stella.

I investigated where the Beach Stone-curlew had been and noticed it had recently deposited a small pile of waste. Family of Brolga. Lesser Frigatebird. Blue-winged Kookaburra in the breeze!

Not, as Linneaus thought, an ostrich, nor even, as later scientists concluded, a distant cousin of pigeons deserving of family rank, it was an honest-to-goodness pigeon, deeply embedded within the family Columbidae. The bird’s skeleton bears similarities to New Guinea’s much smaller (!) What a horror! What a wrong!
