Way back in February when I was enjoying a family-and-friends vacation on New Providence in the Bahamas I wisely hired the best – and the only – bird guide on the island, Carolyn Wardle , for half a day to show me around some of the hotspots and help me find endemics and other species I wanted to see.

My family and I were staying at the edge of a sand beach, facing a wide flat in a house charmingly named “Bone Ami.” Sure, I can see most of the birds in the Bahamas while living within Florida, but not in such stunning surroundings! Abaco is beautiful. The best part? Mom looking for sand dollars.

It seems his family of 5, had rented a condo that sleeps 8, at Atlantis Resort, on Paradise Island, in the Bahamas. While this trip was primarily scheduled as a family rest/rest/vacation outing, with 13 days left in my Little Big Year, that plan is mostly out of the question. Bahama species – 38. eBird submissions – 320?

And, honestly, I feel a little guilty saying that traveling to Puerto Rico, Austria, and the Bahamas so far in 2017 is what has kept me from seeing not only a Great Gray Owl but New York’s first Clark’s Grebe and the young Ross’s Gull that was visiting Tupper Lake. Family twitching? Would we do it again?

This is the third year that my family and some our close friends did a vacation together. Last year it was New Providence in the Bahamas. Two years ago it was Culebra, Puerto Rico. This year, traveling in April instead of February, we decided to do a road trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

We have escaped the clutches of the Bahamas, and are finally back “home” in Tucson, Texas. All in all, twenty six airplane flights this year, traveled around the world, to 11 countries, and not one single delay, or interruption of service, until the Bahamas. Bahamas Species – 58. The Little Big Year species – 1291.

In the Bahamas I swam in a pod of feeding dolphins. Ugandan Mangabeys were part of my family once. In Uganda I would often cross paths with Chimpanzees as they went about their lives and I went about mine (which was living with a troop of monkeys). In California I smelt the breath a Blue Whale as it passed feet beneath my boat.
