Cream Skimming in Puerto Rico
Continuing with my bird theme, because you know, frigid January temps and piles of snow just make me think of birds. We observed this crafty critter while we were on vacation in Fajardo, Puerto Rico. Notice how he just perches non-chalantly on the creamer's tip. I think he was actually whistling a pretty tune to distract us.
Then he takes a quick glance around. Any humans approaching? Perhaps to claim the abandoned cream? Nope. They're all too busy cramming their faces and soaking up the sun.

Greetings from London.
picked up on you over at A Cuban in London.
i'm enjoying your blog and will visit again. lotsa value in running away to far off places if inly by proxy. thank you.
i know Fajardo from my youth, gorgeous beaches and marinas. this little blackbird is called a Pitirre - the sound he makes when calling out.
kudos on a well organized blog,
and thanks for sharing.

Talking of animal behaviour -- although this isn't quite the same -- I've just thought of the dogs that were always near by at the outdoor buffet lunches at out hotel many years ago when we were in Tahiti. Being a non meat eater, the restaurant staff very kindly kept up with a plentiful supply of tuna steaks for me. These actually proved to be too plentiful, but the dogs were always willing to lend a hand, by appearing from under the table very discreetly, never giving me away!
