STICKING TOGETHER: BIRDS OF A FEATHER
In times of trouble, of grief and of despair, humans have an instinct to rally round for the greater good. Right now, I am very conscious that on Abaco – and indeed Grand Bahama – there is little or no time or mental space for overmuch concern about the wildlife. I am safely distanced from the tragedies and dire misfortunes of the countless individuals, families and communities affected by Hurricane Dorian. In this post I simply offer some images of birds – all photographed on Abaco – that are bonded together as adults or adult and chick, as symbolic of the huge combined human efforts on Abaco to comfort, restore, and rebuild a shattered island.

Lovely images of the birds, not ones I normally see. As much as the people of Bahamas are in my heart, and I have donated, I feel for the birds and wildlife as well. Thanks for posting these and making note of the theme.
