One of our last target birds in the Zapaa Peninsula was the Cuban Red-shouldered Blackbird that we found just north of the crocodile farm at La Boca. Shortly afterwards we stopped off at the farm itself where there are usually a few migrants. A Fernandina's Flicker (above) was out on the grassy area probing the soft ground and there were a few migrants around including Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (below) and a fine Yellow-throated Warbler.
Tawny-shouldered Blackbirds (above) were in evidence in the trees bordering the pools and Grey Kingbirds (below) and Black-whiskered Vireos had arrived in good numbers.
