1. Title: "Oilbirds Roosting: A Hidden Gem at Dunston Cave, Asa Wright Centre, Trinidad". Discover the enchanting world of the Oilbirds (Steatornis caripensis) in this photograph taken at the Dunston Cave, Asa Wright Centre in Trinidad. This unique image showcases a pair of Oilbirds perched on a cave ledge, their dark plumage blending seamlessly with the shadows of their subterranean roosting site. The Oilbird is a fascinating tropical bird native to Central and South America, with the largest population residing in Trinidad and Tobago. These birds are the only known nocturnal fruit-eating birds in the world, using their exceptional sense of echolocation to navigate and locate ripe fruit in the dark. The Dunston Cave, located within the Asa Wright Centre, is a critical roosting site for these elusive creatures. The Centre, nestled in the lush, tropical rainforests of Trinidad, is renowned for its commitment to wildlife conservation and research. This photograph, expertly captured by renowned wildlife photographer Geoff Trinder, offers a rare glimpse into the secretive lives of Oilbirds. The image invites us to appreciate the beauty and intrigue of these remarkable birds and the unique ecosystems they inhabit.
