Piratic Flycatcher

Gets its name because it does not
build its own nest...appropriates the
domed or enclosed nests of other,
often far larger, bird species.

Legatus in Latin means envoy:

leucophaius in Greek means
dusky white.

If I were a pirate,

How would I live?

First and foremost,

I’d act as if,

I was Captain Jack Sparrow’s kin.
(H.M. Gautsch)
