The Cuban Birder digital magazine Issue No.10 is out!! (1 Viewer)

Dear friends:

On the eve of World Environment Day and starting the third year of the magazine, we arrived at the 10th. edition of The Cuban Birder with the renewed commitment in favor of environmental education, the promotion of healthy habits when interacting with nature and prioritizing the protection of wild birds and their habitats.

This issue is devoted to the Family Vireonidae and features our endemic Cuban Vireo (Vireo gundlachii) as the star of the show. As in previous editions, we put at your disposal a series of descriptive sheets of each of the vireos that we can find in Cuba, some rare and others more common, and we have introduced a new element to these sheets that shows the distribution map of each species in our archipelago.

Another novelty is that from this edition on we will present each of our provinces with their main hotspots for bird watching and the list of species historically registered on the platform eBird.org for that territory. The main objective of this incorporation is for observers to have the number of species reported for their province at hand and in that way help to identify and declare more easily the first provincial records, the most abundant species of that territory, as well as the rarest or most difficult to find in a given provincial limit. Today we start with Pinar del Río with the hope that it will be useful not only to those who live there, but to all observers of the country.

As always, we wish you a nice reading and we look forward to your feedback!!

Enjoy it!

A birding trip to Cuba is high on my wish-list, but from the USA the obstacles are daunting. One authorized travel category MIGHT work: Support for the Cuban People. Apparently it means not patronizing any government services. Is anyone organizing birding tours that might meet the criteria for that category?
 
Yes gdhunter, I can do that¡ Please, mail me with your dates and target species and and will get back to you with some ideas. My Email is [email protected]
You can also look for Birding Havana in TripAdvisor to read what other Americans said about their birding experience in Cuba.
Thanks for your reply¡
