Caring dad

朱鸝 Maroon Oriole ... My previous comment about the dad being less caring than the mom may be wrong. Look at the tenderness in his eyes... This nesting place is near a water reservoir supplying the whole Taipei city. The lack of rain over the last couple months has lead to an alarming low water level. However, this is beneficial to this Oriole family as the parents can easily get snails for the chicks from the drying waterside.
