Scaly-naped Pigeon (1 Viewer)

Anyone visiting Tobago in the future should be likely to add said pigeon to their list of target birds, with up to four in 2010, our recent visit last week saw two birds on Little Tobago where our guide said there was now up to 20 birds on the island. Apparently Eared Dove and White-tipped started off pretty much in the same way.

Just back from a week on Tobago: Scaly-napes (-napeds?) still on Little Tobago (saw up to 4) but haven't reached 'mainland' yet, apparently. Some books also mention Masked Booby on St. Giles, but they've not been seen in the past 18 months/2 years according to the guides.
One other snippet: people coming over from Trinidad had spent a week failing to get the Mot-mot: readily visible on Tobago.

Good for you.

It has been a while, but I got the Motmot fairly easily both of the times I stayed at Asa Wright in Trinidad.
