YELLOW BIRDS ON ABACO: A ‘TWIXTMAS’ COLOUR SCHEME
Red. Green. A splash of blue. The shimmer of gold and silver. Those Christmas colours are so passé. OVAH! So ‘last year’ (or very nearly). In the hope and expectation that people are not too bilious from Xmas Xcess, or too jaundiced by seasonal overload, I feel it’s time to change the colour scheme. Let’s go for bright yellow. Specifically, a mix of endemic Bahama Yellowthroats and Common Yellowthroats. I love these cheerful little birds, and the challenge of trying to lure them into the open with my rather unconvincing approximations of their ‘wichity’ call. Such sunny little creatures, and always such a joy to watch.

ROLLING HARBOUR ABACO 
Where I live we don’t see yellowthroats (common) all that often and I am so thrilled when I do, they are such a joy. Having two species in one place would be delightful and also tricky for identification. Fun post.
