Oh my Goodness! Dad was working on a series of local birds - including those
from the fountain I believe, when he had the fall that landed him in a
nursing home. That was a couple of years ago and marked the beginning of the
end for him, so to speak... He did continue these paintings in his new 'home'
but the light kinda went out of him from then on.
He did these birds in water colors and made sets of them for each of us. Very
recently I was showing the ones I have to my son. Dad has hand written the
common name and the scientific name (of those that he could find) at the base
of each picture.
How interesting that a young soul of the village should take the time and
trouble to document the same treasure!
Love to all,
Jenny (Saldanha)
P.S. to Annette:
Our Dad, like yours, was crazy about wild life, especially birds and in similar
fashion was perpetually adopting baby bulbuls and Mynas that he would
painstakingly feed at the table with a dropper! He'd stuff too much food into
their mouths and they'd shake their heads sending the stuff flying all over the
dining room and on to any on-lookers!

Hi Rico, Here is the much promised list of the birds
found by me at
the Saligao zor. A study of the whole of
Saligao, i.e the village, the paddy fields, the
orchards would reveal
lots more! Cheers, -Harvey
