In southern Trinidad, however, there is much more at play than what is immediately discernible. Due to the plethora of bird species around, invariably we were to experience something breathtaking. These two Muscovy drakes brutally battled for about ten minutes right in front of us.

Asa Wright Nature Centre in Trinidad holds a prominent position on that list of luminaries. The dichotomous republic of Trinidad and Tobago may be something of a cipher to anyone unfamiliar with the point where the Caribbean ends and South America begins. Who else has not one but two different manakin leks right off their trails?
