Here in Trinidad, we routinely experience several of these migrants – most of these birds surely pass by unrecorded as not everyone is a birder and not all birders are huge fans of suffering from Warbler Neck. Yes, I knocked over a few things in haste. But this was important.

The scolding alarm call of the Spectacled Thrush for example is something that I grew extremely tired of – the birds would sit on our window and glare at our indoor cat and yell (what I presume to be some form of obscene insult) at him. Back in Trinidad, both Spectacled Thrush and Cocoa Thrush would nest in our backyard.

My first experience was with a nesting pair, one bird was out at the time and the other was comfortably sitting quite low in the nest. These all added to the overarching foreboding feeling of the moment – after all it was the 59th anniversary of the independence of Trinidad & Tobago. I saw it regurgitate a pellet.
