..save me from your Mansions in the Sky! Early this morning I had to watch a group of Yellow Throat Miners tear apart a Grey Crowned Babbler… terrible things to have to watch. Yesterday evening I’d noticed a lone Grey Crown skipping through a tree beside my camp. They are rare and they are rarely alone.
