Field Notes

Description:

A female Coppersmith Barbet busy building its nest. The male was "resting" on a tree nearby-- unwilling to do any work, I suppose!

Habitat:

Seen at Pasir Ris Park.

Notes:

The pictures are in order of performance: step 1, poke head out, step 2, come out, step 3, go back in, step 4, you never knew it was there.

Oh my god-- I just realized that this is my 200th spotting! It's been a wild(life) ride and I think it's safe to say that Project Noah has completely changed the way I view the world around me.
