    Egret ID from Trinidad

    Spotted this morning in the Caroni Rice Fields. Very distinct from all other Egrets in the field with grey neck, plumes and some grey coming through in the underparts and rump areas. If it wasn't for the grey, I would have thought it a Snowy Egret. Any help appreciated.

    Cerulean Warblers - Trinidad - ID possible male

    Hi, A single female has been returning frequently to the same tree in Trinidad for about 3 years. Today again, we saw the female (plate with 3 pics), but then noticed after examining pictures from a couple km away, a possible male (plate with 4 pics). Appreciate if someone can confirm the ID...

    Possible Lesser Elaenia? - Trinidad

    Originally thought first pic was a Southern Beardless Tyrannulet but the behaviour was a bit off. Now thinking possible Lesser Elaenia.

    Hawk ID - Trinidad

    Saw 2 White Hawks recently in the same vicinity and initially assumed the 2 hawks seen today were the same birds. When looking on my computer, these are different birds.

    Common Black or Zone-tailed Hawk - Trinidad

    Originally thought CBH since the wings looked quite broad, but the tail and head shape resemble ZTH.

    Swift ID - Trinidad

    Hopefully the poor pics are enough for an ID. Snapped several swifts and while most are either Short-tailed Swift or Fork-tailed Palm Swift, there were 2 birds that looked a bit different. In the plate with 9 pics, the centre swift looked different. The plate with 4 pics shows the same centre...

    Elaenia and Hummer ID - Trinidad

    Found these two birds in the trees on the outskirts of the Caroni Ricefields. I believe they may be Lesser Elaenia and White-tailed Goldenthroat respectively. The other candidate for the elaenia is the more common Yellow-bellied variant but this looked a bit different to me. Don’t really see...

    Different looking Whimbrels in Trinidad - Same subspecies?

    Within the last 3 weeks snapped these 2 whimbrels at different coastal locations in Trinidad (5 miles apart - Orange Valley and Temple by Sea areas). The first was heavier set, had longer bill and gave the impression (subjective) of a larger bird when compared with the second. Interested in...

    Raptor for ID - Trinidad - Mangrove Swamp

    Checked the guides and couldn’t find an easy match. Bill is interesting - very hooked. The bird seemed smaller that a Common Black Hawk and was gliding from branch to branch under the mangrove canopy. I heard single loudish chirps between two birds that could have been two of these hawks (but...
