This is really interesting actually! Because actually the såli and the bird you speak of are different birds, but with Guahan's drastic change in their birds, some birds here are referred to differently than what our ancestors knew them as. Såli is the Micronesian starling.

The bird you refer to that "dive bombs" is the black drongo, a bird that is very territorial esp when nesting. There are very few, if any, sålis on Guahan now. Drongos have a distinct forked tail. Even what some call a chichirika here is not the actual chichirika.

Badass! Do you think that the population of snakes in forests up North is stable/low enough to allow more birds to survive til adulthood?? I know they supposedly reached the population's peak a while ago so they must be declining/at a stable lower capacity now.
