Mandai Hill 24Apr11

From Con

Here are my pix from this morning of the Grey-rumped Treeswift.  Arrived at 7:10 am and both adults were in the same tree but flew off after a few minutes.  They didn't return with juvenile until almost 8 am.

They took juv on some flying lessons and daddy gave him a bug.  Then juv perched in the same leafy tree and just stayed there until 9:30 when I left.

I want to get juv in flight as his profile is very different, instead of pointy wings, his wingtips are rounded and shorter, but he still flys very well.

I think the family should be around for a couple more weeks as juv still has a lot of learning to do.  As you can see, he is also much smaller than pop.
