All good things end...
but some lead to more wonderful things!

The robin-sized Great Kiskadee kept me company everywhere I went in Trinidad, from Asa Wright to my neighbourhood in Port of Spain. He slept in later than I did. His morning call sounded shocked, like he'd just fallen out of bed.

Too soon, it was time to leave the Asa Wright Nature Centre where, under the tutelage of the guides, birds had become my link to a known world. But I had hopes of seeing everyone again: Asa Wright manager Mr. Julien said he would tell his education officer about me. So the project was off to a great start.
