Brolga , Crested Pigeons , Peaceful Doves , Little Corellas , Zebra Finch , Cockatiels, Budgerigars and Galahs were present early in the morning and late in the afternoon when they came in to drink.

I constantly tried to turn them into Loggerhead Kingbirds , which are supposed to be present on Culebra but never had any luck. Cattle Egrets were easily found in any open areas, particularly around the airport and the eastern end of the island. I couldn’t believe how many Clapper Rails were in the mangroves along 250.
