Hot weather birdz


Graceful Prinia


For the past few days the thermometer has been flirting with 50 degrees Celcius. It is not a dry heat. It is very much a wet heat. The Arabian Gulf is too hot to comfortably swim in. All spring migrants are long gone and only a few hard-core birds remain here for the hot season. In other news, only 3 more days till the vast green beauty of CANADA! Thinking of venturing out east this summer for a Halifax honeymoon.




Bar-tailed Godwit

My camera was acting up due to the insane heat and humidity of this place. This species holds the record for the longest non-stop flight of any bird. One of these guys went non-stop from New Zealand to China. Bad. Ass. Bird.
