Caught in the Act - Oilbirds Take a Daytime Break from Nightlife in Trinidad's Stunning Gorges!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness a rare sight as nocturnal creatures, the oilbirds (Steatornis caripensis), defy their usual habits and gather for a daytime roost. Nestled within the breathtaking gorges of Trinidad, these adult oilbirds find solace and rest amidst nature's grandeur. With feathers shimmering under the Caribbean sun, these magnificent avian beings showcase their unique beauty. Their sleek bodies blend seamlessly with the cave walls, creating an enchanting spectacle that is truly mesmerizing to behold. Trinidad and Tobago's tropical paradise serves as an ideal haven for these neotropical wonders. Known locally as "guacharos" they are often found deep within hidden caves throughout South America. However, here on this vibrant island in the West Indies' Lesser Antilles, they have discovered another sanctuary to call home. As FLPA photographer Bob Gibbons expertly captures this moment frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at nature's diversity. These oilbirds remind us that even creatures of habit can surprise us with their adaptability and willingness to explore new horizons. So let your imagination take flight alongside these remarkable birds! Let their presence inspire you to seek out unexpected adventures and embrace life outside your comfort zone – just like our feathered friends who dared to break free from nocturnal norms in Trinidad's majestic gorges!
