Heat in the Tropics

Perhaps his first attempt at raising a family – I’ll be checking on him in a few days! What I’m not looking forward to is the flurry of rare bird reports of elaenias. Some birds chose to sit quietly together, perhaps getting to know each other’s quirks and habits before settling down to raise a family.

My large Pied Oystercatcher family
