10,000 Birds
DECEMBER 21, 2022
I’ve been leading a small but faithful group on Trinidad for several years to count birds within a livestock farm that is generally restricted to the public (you can read about some of those shenanigans here ); this was the first time I was to embark on a CBC on the smaller island of Tobago.

Such was my introduction to Aripo Savannah in Trinidad. My first morning in Trinidad was dedicated to discovering the myriad wonders of Asa Wright Nature Centre. Fortunately, we weren’t far at all from a mandatory stop on any Trinidad & Tobago nature tour. Time to explore some new habitat! In fact, it was.

The cows and their entourage of Cattle Egrets sloshed through the pastures, each time they moved we lurched forward hoping to see a disturbed Grey-breasted Crake hop into view – but alas, no such luck even though we were hearing the little skulkers consistently. Farmers keep their livestock in this wetland also.

8 countries were birded by 11 beats and I am delighted to include Faraaz and Trinidad and Tobago in those stats. Cattle Egret – Bubulcus ibis. Do you think that the pish is muted, dispersed or in some other way deprived of its urgency? Anyone got a mask tanline yet? Intermediate Egret – Ardea intermedia.
