Coney Island 22Feb20

From KH

I went to Coney Island for a morning walk.

Nice haul of raptors:

Jerdon's Baza

Peregrine Falcon

Black-winged Kite

Surprised find: an adult Hodgson's Hawk-cuckoo.

A flock of about 30 White-shouldered Starlings were found feeding in the casuarina trees.

So were these Red-breasted Parakeets.

A Common Tailorbird also like the casuarina trees.

This male Olive-backed Sunbird was displaying aggressively to the nearby female.

A huge Baya Weaver nest!

Here's a Common Caerulean
