Field Notes

Description:

This Brown-Throated Sunbird is trapped between the windows of my house. I think it is a juvenile , because it can't properly fly yet. I release it, and it then fly away to the nearby tree.

Habitat:

- Spotted between the windows of my house.

Notes:

- Thanks to Francis Yap for the ID.
