Interviewed Via Skype In Panama 3
So, I just filmed an interview with WCCO while in Panama via Skype. It’s for the “Good Question” series and will air tonight at 10pm. I love it. Thanks to the wonders of technology, I sat in the bathroom at Canopy Lodge and answered crow questions over the intertubes. Thanks WCCO for making me feel so international!
Speaking of Canopy Lodge–I am having too much fun with my Wingscapes Camera. It’s surprisingly packable and I’m able to get some cool photos:
Like another tight shot of this chestnut-headed oropendula! Is that a banana on his beak or is he just happy to see me? I can also get video too:
Here we have another crimson-backed tanager, blue-gray tanagers and looks like a euphonia back there too. It’s almost like you’re in Panama with me.
I was interviewed as well and I know he talked to Bob Zink. They put all the “Good Questions” up on their website so you should be able to see it when you come back. Another local station is working on a story as well. Interesting.
What a cool looking bird, I loved the description of the banana beak. Great photos.

It delves into why Crow use communal roosts and supports what Bob Zink mentioned that food proximity and safety in numbers are the main reason for large communal roosts. There has to be a sight close by that offers them food during the day which is why they are there.
