The exploration of triads within the avifauna of Trinidad and Tobago has taken me through various families and species groups on this blog. This Cocoa Woodcreeper was hunting for a meal around a fallen tree and thankfully was eye level long enough for me to get a decent photo showing off its enchanting facial patterns.

Though I traveled to NYC this weekend, Ivy and I nailed down our best bird before I left; a Short-eared Owl has been hunting at a local park not 10 minutes from our house, which makes for the easiest owl sighting we’ve snagged in a long time!

Having come back to the blog in whatever form and persistency, the overarching subject of language in birding seemed to be a suitable and deserving theme since bird names were part of my original beat.

I probably wrote about it on this blog but it escapes me at the moment. A pair of Greater Ani hunted tirelessly to feed two voracious nestlings. For me as a resident birder in a twin island nation, it’s been many months since my last lifer. The truth is before last Friday I can’t recall what my latest lifer was.
