Still a notable sighting, however, as this Orange-backed Troupial was a brand new bird for me. Typically, there would be at least one male already at the lek, even as human observers would be getting in position. Nevertheless, it was still a magical experience sitting in the jungle. And waited. No birds yet. And waited.

Because of this, areas around the city that were once sleepy are now “urban,” with humans and wildlife struggling to keep up. Again, they are fairly common in the Southwest and Mexico, but for me they felt brand new! After all, part of getting to know any city is learning its non-human inhabitants!

In a period of a week it had filled up the inside of the bower with a collection of brand new shiny tech screws. This male Great Bowerbird likes to collect the usual items that are green and white, but due to its closeness to human habitation it is able to collect a variety of items beyond the usual Nickernuts, bones, rocks and shells.
