Where a birder goes in the Caribbean determines which birds are seen including toy-like todies, Carib hummingbirds, cool pigeons, quail-doves, unique avian families and outrageous woodpeckers.

Another native bird that quickly showed itself to me in the capital was the Polynesian Triller , a member of the cuckoo-shrike family.
