Drinks got a little forgotten and scopes were pulled out when we discovered a yellow-throated vireo in the nearest tree. It was about 99 years since the last record of that species on this island (Country). On the same porch, but a couple of years later and a couple of hours after sunset: Bridled Quail-Dove, had not been seen on the island for more than 10 years.  Same place, overflying (migrating) Antillean Nighthawk about once a year, one of which were kind enough to be calling so I can say for sure; I have not heard about anyone else seeing them on this island. Two different observations during the same year of White-winged Dove here in Dominica, still to the best of my knowledge the only observations from here. The first one came while we were driving to the other end of the island and really did not have much time, but I had to jump out of the car, walk back a little and get the important photos of proof before running on.
