Today, Barn Owls can be found across both islands, hunting open fields at twilight or comfortably resting in abandoned relics of the sugar cane industry. Years later, a small group of us ventured into some forest adjoining abandoned cocoa estates in central Trinidad searching for a view of this bird.

A Gray-cheeked Thrush contemplates abandoning all dignity and face-diving into an orange. If you ask me, no bird looks more at home with an orange than a male Baltimore. Like peas and carrots. Tennessee Warbler. Of all warblers, the humble and adaptable TEWA has the strongest preference for oranges. Northern Parula.

A large removal of buckthorn or any other trees can cause birds to abandon a yard. If it’s a case of birds abandoning a feeding station, it could be that the food offered is old: did you get that seed at an unbelievable discount–chances are it’s old and if your neighbor is offering fresher fare the birds will visit them.

After doing all this pretty much by themselves, the females abandon the young before they can fly, usually 30 to 50 days after they hatch. Females often move broods downstream to larger lakes, rivers and bays from smaller streams and ponds near the nest site 1. They are able to fly at 60 to 75 days old and do just fine without mom.

For two good reasons always remember to keep your distance from the nest: to avoid the disturbance of birds and abandonment of the nest, but also because this is an aggressive owl known to strike human intruders in the face. Egg-laying starts in late March to early April and they remain in the vicinity till early June.
