This morning I watched a male Figbird singing from a palm tree in Mt. Coot-tha Botantical Garden. As typical for the the species, he displayed a red eye-patch. However, when he joined a female to inspect a potential nest site -- the two birds sat close to each other and clapped their bills together -- his red face-patch turned white with a thin red/pink border. Has anyone else witness such a change in colour? Cheers, Jim Dr. Wm. James Davis, Editor Interpretive Birding Bulletin |
