10,000 Birds

Birds begin to filter down through this southern part of Central America by August but the biggest avian movement happens during the third and final weeks of October.

The Gap Between Wildlife and the Animal Rights Movement

10,000 Birds

It seems that these people, who purport to claim to care so much about animals, are completely ignorant of the existence of any animal life beyond horses, cows, pigs, chickens and turkeys. The birds had evolved without a predator like this, and with the new snake having no predators, it had no problem decimating the island’s birdlife.

Foster to Fish Creek

10,000 Birds

There is a small shelter and picnic bench at this location and depending on visibility you may or may not be able to see the coast! I have become very familiar with the birds along the trail. One of the most common birds that I have encountered is the Eastern Yellow Robin. Fish Creek train station building. Eastern Whipbird.
