CUBA 2008: Bahama Mockingbird.

Lesser Black-Backed Gull & Laughing Gull, Cayo Romano March 2008.



Great Blue Heron (white phase), Cayo Romano March 2008.

From our base on Cayo Coco we were able to visit the other keys in search of Cuban Gnatcatcher, Zapata Sparrow and Thick-billed Vireo. En route we located one of the area's resident rarities in the form of an adult L. B. B. Gull and a smashing Pomarine Skua too. In fact it was a good morning for Cuban rarities as we saw 3 Swallow-tailed Kites as well.

One afternoon was spent in search of Bahama Mockingbird which wev found quite easily at the usual spot on Cayo Guillermo.
