It was early afternoon when Mike and I arrived at Bosque Estatal de Guanica, the large dry forest reserve on the south coast of Puerto Rico. We headed back downslope to the car and continued on with our exploration, eventually finding our way to a mangrove-lined lagoon on a side road to the right.

Culebra is the lesser known of the two major islands that lie off the eastern edge of Puerto Rico.

For example, on the first morning in Puerto Rico that Mike and I explored Humacao Nature Reserve we saw several Mangrove Cuckoos and these birds had no problem making their way in front of my camera. And, finally, we had one perch briefly on a dead snag right next to us. It is unclear why, exactly, this is so. Mangrove Cuckoo !
