A friend found a baby bird. It wasn’t moving, but it wasn’t dead. She didn’t know what to do with it, so she picked it up and dropped it in a box,
…and brought it to us.
It’s a common pauraque. Remember them? Their natural defense is to hold perfectly still and be invisible.
It didn’t work for this guy because he was on a sidewalk.
He can probably get by on his own just fine. We have the right habitat all around us, so we released him on the other side of our fence next to the mesquite forest.
When he grows up we’ll hear him calling at night in the summer.
