Very unfortunate! I've never been to Venezuela, but that area (viewed on Google Satellite) looks like it would be a fantastic place to go!

Minsmere, UK?

JoanT got it: Santa Ana NWR, Texas. That's where I got my ABA Hook-billed Kite! As far as I know, the most reliable place for them on the Texas side of the lower Rio Grande Valley. JoanT gets 6 pts, and david kelly gets 3 pts for getting it down to TX.
