    Green-throated Carib P3014491.jpg

    Same bird as in the previous image, a split second later. It still has a droplet of nectar on its bill, which is visible in the original -- reduced size here may make it difficult to see. There was a fence between the trail I was on and the flowers, which explain that I could not include all...

    Green-throated Carib

    The first of several photos of this bird. In this photo, it has its front towards us, but the head is turned so that the eye is actually visible to the left of the rightmost flower. The head was turned to access the interior of that particular flower.

    Zenaida Dove

    The grey behind the bird is likely to be either rocks similar to the ones it is sitting on or (less likely) foam from the crashing waves (they were big that day). The blue is certainly the sea in the background.

  23. North Point, Barbados

    North Point, Barbados

    This area is dry most of the year but when the summer/fall rains start, about five shallow ponds form where shorebirds can be found. On some days, a couple of hundred birds are in these ponds. The photo is actually stitched together from four photos taken with my phone.

    Presumably, the birds we see in Barbados are from the southern end of the population coming here in their winter. This is the first time I have caught up with one of these.
