I saw the baby lemurs when I was there a couple of weeks ago. Cutest things ever!

On black-faced cuckoo-shrikes, there is a group of them that live on the hill behind my house. I've noticed that they often appear to have a sentry posted. Is this common for this species?

Howdy All,

Probably a bird I should have seen a lot of, but it was a first for me.  When I was at the National Zoo & Aquarium today I was watching a Black Faced Cuckoo Shrike.  I have a vague feeling I might have seen one before, but it certainly isn't something I usually see about.  Unfortunately I get little chance to travel and look for things, but I thought I would mention it in case it were of interest to anyone?  I've never observed one there in previous visits.  It was a lot bigger than I expected!!

Just in case anyone is interested, it was right near the entrance in a tree above the Marmosets.  A nice addition to the things I viewed at the zoo, including the adorable baby Ring tailed Lemurs that have only recently been on public display.

Cheers.
