Laura ScrimshawBedraggled Ani on a Bedraggled Branch.
The smooth billed Ani within the Galapagos is a bit of "The little old lady who swallowed a fly." They were introduced in the 1960's to eat the ticks that were accidentally introduced earlier via cattle importation. As with so many plans, this one went awry: It turn out, Ani would rather raid warbler nests and disturb native populations in other ways as well. #perchingbirds #singingbirds #nature #naturephotography #naturephotos #birdwatching #birdphotography #birdnerd #birdfreaks #birdsofpixelfed #Galapagos #invasivespecies #cuckoo #ani #smoothbilledani #bird #birds #birdwatching
