Charlie Quinn shared this terrific shot of the endemic Barbados Bullfinch getting ready to peruse James Bond’s classic Birds of the West Indies. In Barbados. Thanks, Charlie!

I love what Bond wrote in the fifth edition: “remarkably tame in gardens of Barbados.”
(I’ll be giving away a free copy of this edition at my talk on Tuesday at the Ridgewood Public Library).
