Great pics Browns. Probably hoping for a free gecko snack from you. I raised one of these guys as a kid, found it fallen from it's nest. I remember it would land on my head from it's perch in our laundry. Awesome birds to see up close.

Wait till they learn that bugs come when they trigger the sensor lights

Nice bird Browns. I have done a few WIRES rescues with these guys and I love them. Unfortunately down here they are suffering a nuerological problem. Most are going to be tested when they show certain signs. Poor things.

Hugsta, this include screaming fits, convulsion and death? Apart from this neuro disease they can actually store toxins from their food in their body fat > times get tough they start to absorb the fat and poison themselves.

Interesting birds. They kind of remind me of the Night Hawks we get over here.
