I have only seen (or photographed) a Såli or Micronesian Starling once before. These two seem to have found an ideal urban nest.

Another Bittern
This is not the first time I have come across a young Yellow Bittern that has fallen from the nest. Poor little bird.
Colony of Black Noddy
There is an impressive colony of Black and Brown noddy or Fåhang in the CHamoru language taking up residence in Merizo.
Female Coconut Crab
We saw a number of Coconut crabs on our recent 1,000 Steps hike. This female was near the cliff edge and carrying eggs.
Western Honey Bee
When I have a chance to explore the island, it is often the little things that catch my attention, like this Western Honey Bee.
Pair of fledgling Yellow Bitterns
I found a Yellow Bittern nest today. Two fledgling chicks were hidden well. I was just able to catch their emerging heads.
Now Shooting Olympus
I've been shooting with an Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark III for over a month now. So far, I'm very happy with it!
Gygis alba
I followed and tried to photograph a pair of Yellow Bitterns today, but wound up getting a better shot of this White Tern.
Heron at Sunset
I was glad to see a light morph Pacific Reef Heron tonight. The dark morph seems to be more common around here.
Resting Fairy Tern
All the White (Fairy) Terns I saw today were peeking out from behind branches. I just caught this one as it looked my way.
A rare trip out
Photography outings have been rare lately. Today I managed to spend 45 minutes photographing a Pacific Reef Heron.
Pair of White Terns
I see these White (Fairy) Terns regularly near Paseo, but this was my first time photographing a pair. Fascinating birds.
