Finger size comparison with chicks. Gumbo is very annoyed!
In this sequence, filmed this afternoon, I bring my forefinger very close to the nest to offer a size scale for the chicks. However, Gumbo, who is monitoring the nest almost constantly, gets very annoyed at this threat to her babies, and immediately attacks me, darting and buzzing and chipping at me. Part of this activity is captured in the later parts of the movie.
I was going to say you might want to get that black spot on your finger checked out but turns out its your lens!
