Bare-eyed Thrush (Turdus nudigenis) Birds of Trinidad & Tobago

Bare-eyed Thrush (Turdus nudigenis) Birds of Trinidad & Tobago. A common resident on both Islands this delightful singer can be found in suburban areas as well as more natural habitats. A regular bird table visitor when one has a bird table, but in a garden with five cats it's not such a good idea.

Location : At home, Tobago, Trinidad & Tobago, West Indies.

Brown-crested Flycatcher (Myiarchus tyrannulus)

The Brown-crested Flycatcher like all tyrant flycatchers is an entertaining bird to watch as they twist and flutter around catching flying insects on the wing. Nests are built in tree cavities, and this pair found a lovely nesting site right next to the waters edge.

Location : Kilgwyn Mangrove, Bon Accord, Tobago, Trinidad & Tobago, West Indies.

Birds of Tobago : Mangrove Cuckoo (Coccyzus minor)

Birds of Tobago : Mangrove Cuckoo (Coccyzus minor). This is a fairly common resident throughout the West Indies but considered rare for Trinidad & Tobago according to Richard Ffrench. This lovely Cuckoo has a delightful low pitched guttural call that I find a beautiful sound. The Mangrove Cuckoo can be found in light forest and scrub at lower levels, generally not know at higher altitudes.

Barred-Antshrike (Thamnophilus doliatus) A perched female

This is a very trusting Antshrike that is quite happy with being close to humans, well so long as you keep a respectful distance, usually seen in pairs, they will happily chatter and chuckle away as they feed, the constant calling keeping the pair aware of where each other is, it is normal for the male to lead, the female bird coming along not too far behind her mate, both share nest duties and bringing up the young.

Copper-rumped Hummingbird (Amazilia tobaci) feeding on wild sage

The copper-rumped Hummingbird (Amazilia tobaci) is a common hummingbird here in Tobago and can be found abundantly in suburban areas, but it is always nice when one captures them in the countryside, this hummingbird was visiting a patch of wild sage, it's beak tipped with bright yellow pollen from the dainty flowers

Migrant shorebirds - Sanderlings (Calidris alba) in Trinidad & Tobago

Migrant shorebirds I find to be delightful, really enjoy photographing them and just being around them. Shorebirds such as the Sanderling generally work their way down the East coast of America, those that land up in Tobago mostly make the flight in single leg, some however stop over in the Lesser Antilles. Sanderlings are often seen in small groups here and quite a large number appear to move with loose flocks of various other shorebirds such as Ruddy Turnstones, Black bellied plovers and of course other Sandpipers.
