Excellent!
I missed out on one of these beauties at the radio mast above the AWC by about 20 minutes -It's as good a reason as any to go back to Trinidad!!

Steve,
Thanks for the comments. I've seen the T. Piping-Guan at the radio tower you mentioned on just two occassions - definitely easier to see in Grande Riviere but a good long drive. These two birds were quite happy to pose, "pipe" and also do their "display" flight rattling their wings for us. We saw a total of (at least) 6 birds within an hour and a half. It was a magical morning. If you come back to T&T let me know.
