VORACIOUS VIREOS: A TALE OF GREED ON ABACO
Lo, the tiny fluffy BLACK-WHISKERED VIREO fledgling, so innocent and coming close to aborbs (but for being frankly a little unkempt). Yet few would guess that beneath that delightfully virtuous exterior rages the appetite of a MONSTER…
Excuse me, I’m getting a little peckish…
That’s fine, son, I’ll go and get you a little snack…
And another one… keep ’em coming
Whaaaaa… more… NO, son, you’ve had quite enough for one meal…
All great photos by Charles Skinner, who must have had a fun time watching the entertainment. Although we intentionally featured very few juveniles in THE BIRDS OF ABACO, one of these shots insisted on being included…
Fun series, RH, and Charlie Skinner’s photos are great. Like that one at the end, a treat to see the red eye, and the berry in the bill.

Thanks Jet… I love doing the occasional ‘story’ post – especially one with a happy ending (busy parent gets a reward at the end of it all…) RH
