About this report:

The Cuba Bird Survey report covers each day of the program from January 10-22, 2016. Following “About this Report” and general information about Cuba you will find a Trip Summary of each days birding excursions and notable events or birds found during our 12 days in the field. There are 6 Appendix following the Trip Summary. Appendix 1; is a Map of the Cuba Bird Survey locations we visit. Appendix 2; Cuba Bird Survey eBird field trip location data for each day including total birds seen, heard and recorded, as well as some highlights and notes of interest. Appendix 3; contains 3 tables of our eBird data showing number of species, individuals and checklists for each week. The total bird list for the two weeks are combined in table 3 including all bird species seen. Appendix 4; Cuba 2016 species list with location seen and date recorded. All birds found in Cuba on this survey have been entered into eBird, a real-time, online checklist program launched in 2002 by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and National Audubon Society, which provides rich data sources for basic information on bird abundance and distribution at a variety of spatial and temporal scales. Each eBird list is followed by a specific location marker (e.g., CU-01) www.ebird.org. Appendix 5; Cuba Bird Survey Avian Photography: have been added to the Macaulay Library, Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology through eBird. It contains some of the images from our trip taken by Michael Good, and lastly, Appendix 6; I added a small recently published story about Zapata Rail entitled “Rare glimpse of elusive rail”. Unfortunately, there are still no known photographs of this bird, so this news, although compelling, falls short of being a verifiable sighting.

This report was compiled and written by Michael J. Good, MS, who also took the photographs presented herein

([email protected]). The report is edited by Gary Markowski, founder and director of the Caribbean

Conservation Trust. Participants: All participants were U.S. residents with an overall high degree of birding experience.

Western and Central Cuba

Cuba is an archipelago consisting of the island of Cuba, the Isla De La Juventud (Isle of Youth) and 4,195 other cays and

islets. The archipelago lies at the entrance to the Gulf of Mexico, 48 miles from Haiti, 87 miles from the Bahamas, 90

miles from Jamaica, 112 miles from Florida and approximately 130 miles from Cancun. This strategic location places

Cuba directly in the path of migratory Neotropical species making their way to Central and South America and the West

Indies. Cuba is comprised of 42,827 square miles (110,922 square kilometers) and is the largest island in the Caribbean.

It is 744 miles long with a population of 11 million people of mostly Spanish, African, and Asian descent. More than 2

million people live in Havana, the Capital city. There are no poisonous plants or animals in Cuba. Remarkably, four

percent of the world’s plant species are represented here including 6,370 plants species with 52% endemics. There are

284 designated protected areas accounting for 11% of Cuba’s total 11 million hectares. The climate is subtropical

moderated by the trade winds, a wet season (May through October “estacion de las lluvias”) and dry season (November

through April “estacion de la seca”). We experienced a couple of tropical rain downpours but overall there was little

rain during the 12 field days that interfered with our work.

Cuba’s Birds

According to BirdLife International, which has designated 28 Important Bird Areas (IBAs) in Cuba, “Over 371 bird species

have been described and recorded in Cuba, 30 are now considered endemic to the island and 29 considered globally

threatened”. Due to its large land area and geographical position within the Caribbean, Cuba represents one of the

most important countries for Neotropical migratory birds – both those passing through on their way south (76 species)

and those spending the winter on the island (86 species).

“Worldwide, the most important places for habitat-based conservation of birds are the Endemic Bird Areas (EBAs). Most species are quite widespread and have large ranges. However, over 2,500 are restricted to an area smaller than 50,000 km2, and they are said to be endemic to it. BirdLife has identified regions of the world where the distributions of two or more of these restricted-range species overlap to form Endemic Bird Areas.” “EBAs contain nearly all of the world's restricted-range bird species – only 7% of restricted-range species do not overlap with other such species and therefore do not occur in EBAs. The EBAs also support many of the world's more widespread bird species. Half of all restricted-range species are globally threatened or near-threatened and the other half remain forever vulnerable to the loss or degradation of habitat owing to the small size of their ranges. The majority of EBAs are also important for the conservation of restricted-range species from other animal and plant groups. For example, there is an overlap of 70% between the location of EBAs and areas which are similarly important for endemic plants globally. The unique landscapes where these species occur, amounting to just 4.5% of the earth's land surface, are high priorities for broad-scale ecosystem conservation. Cuban endemism is 7.7% of Cuban birds (26 endemics) and 62% of the birds in the West Indies occur on Cuba making the island an area of great importance. The natural habitat in most EBAs (83%) is forest, especially tropical lowland forest and moist montane forest. Altogether, remaining suitable habitat within the EBAs now covers only 7,300,000 km2, a small proportion of the Earth's land area. Geographically, EBAs are often islands or mountain ranges, and they vary considerably in size, from a few square kilometers to more than 100,000 km2, and in the numbers of restricted-range species that they support (from 2 to 80). EBAs are found around the world, but most (77%) of them are located in the tropics and subtropics.” (source: Birdlife International)

In accordance with Birdlife International’s outline of Endemic Bird Areas, the Caribbean Conservation Trust Cuba Bird Survey program is committed to the conservation of native and migratory birds and their habitats in the greater Caribbean region, specifically in Cuba, and including all islands within the Caribbean basin. The CCT’s regional scope includes the study of neo-tropical migrant bird species moving between North America and the greater Caribbean region, focusing on birds from the east and mid-west of the United States.

Our field trips involve legally authorized participants who are dedicated to accurately identifying birds in the field. In

addition to fulfilling our authorized obligation to identify and record birds in the field, CCT programs focus on designated

Important Bird Areas (as identified by BirdLife International above), covering diverse parts of the country, and providing

opportunities to interact with some of Cuba’s most talented naturalists and bird experts. We work directly with Cuba’s

leading ornithologists and biologists to provide an important conservation link to this endeavor, benefitting the Cuban

people and environment.

Trip Summary: January 10-22, 2016 Data compilation, text and photos by Michael J. Good, MS ([email protected])

A total of 161 species of birds were observed during January 10-22, 2016. Our group tallied 10,757 individual birds, including 24 of the 26 endemics recognized by the American Ornithological Society (AOU). Three Cuban subspecies are pending future endemics, Eastern/Cuban Meadowlark, Cuban Martin and Cuban Bullfinch. AOU recently voted regarding Cuban Bullfinch, with only 1 dissenting vote, so it will be split, but is not officially number 27. Cuban Martin is considered a ´breeding endemic´ and Eastern/Cuban Meadowlark is pending. A total of 53 locations were surveyed, comprising almost 1150 miles of Cuban countryside. The January 2016 Cuban Bird Survey team exhibited excellent field observation skills, which contributed to our trip total and the discovery of many important winter resident and fall migrant birds, giving us a more complete understanding of the Cuban ornithological landscape for the locations visited.

January 10, 2016: Day 1 - Miami to Havana to Hotel Moka

The entire survey team gathered at the Miami Airport prior to our Cuba departure.

After taking a shuttle at 5:00 AM from our hotel to Miami International Airport, the Cuba survey team assembled as a

group at the Marazul check-in counter where Michael took passports and documents for processing and preparation for

our Cuba flight. Everything went smoothly. Our flight arrived safely at José Marti Havana Airport at 11:30 AM. After

landing and moving through customs in Jose Marti Airport we meet Alberto, our bilingual Cuban guide, and Philipo, our

amazing driver.

After exchanging money at the Cadeca (acronym for Casa de Cambio) we maneuvered through the Havana traffic to El

Ajiba restaurant where we enjoyed a lunch in the tropical rain. We encountered our first endemic bird species, Cuban

Blackbird, on the roadside sidewalk.

Cuban Blackbird (Dives atroviolaceus) Greater Antillean Grackle (Quiscalus niger) We then visited retired museum curator, ornithologist, and author, Orlando Garrido, for a discussion about our itinerary focusing on Cuban endemic birds we might encounter, their habitats, distributions, and their unique plumage and behaviors. Orlando also shared anecdotal stories about ornithologists Juan Gundlach and James Bond, as well as a few personal stories about each of the endemics described before signing copies of our field guides. The opportunity for our group to learn about some of these birds prior to our field experience provided valued insight

that would help our efforts to identify and understand the birds we encountered in the field. For example, Orlando

pointed out important descriptions, such as the difference in eye color between the otherwise similar Cuban Blackbird

(black eyes) and the Greater Antillean Grackle (yellow eyes). We also briefly discussed the races of Cuban Green

Woodpecker, Zapata Sparrow, Great Lizard Cuckoo, and American Kestrel. At the end of day one we found 6 species

including our first endemic, Cuban Blackbird.

January 11, 2016: Day 2 – Travel from Hotel Moka to Maria La Gorda, PN Guanahacabibes.

During breakfast at Hotel Moka we are united with our Las Terrazas local guide Otis and our full-time Cuban biologist and author, Arturo Kirkconnell, curator of Birds at the Museo Nacional de Historia Natural in Havana, Cuba. Birding starts early when you have three guides recently fed breakfast. Our assembled birders and photographers have an opportunity to observe a Summer Tanager male and female as we started our morning. The sub-tropical forest around the parking lot of Moka hotel produces Cuban Green and West Indian Woodpecker, Red-legged Thrush, Cuban Emerald,

Black-throated Green, Black and White Warbler, Northern Parula and Loggerhead Kingbird all well seen in the low forest canopy surrounding Moka. It is a magical Cuban morning after evening rain and the passing of a cold front. Moka Hotel sits high above the small community of Las Terrazas surrounded by a nature reserve in the municipality of Candelaria, Artemisa Province, Cuba. It is located in the Sierra del Rosario mountains, which was designated a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1984 of which the Cubans have been managing successfully as an Eco-reserve founded in 1971. The village has become a model for rural self-sufficiency and was first part of a massive government-sponsored reforestation project where the people replanted 8 million trees over a 45-year period. Today the local economy is funded by a healthy tourism industry supported by enterprises like Moka Hotel as well as entrepreneurial resident artists, restaurateurs and nature guides. The entire CCT group packed for the day continuing by bus to a known Pine forest hotspot for Olive-capped Warbler, one of three Cuban endemic Parulids. As soon as we leave the bus we encounter the Cuban race of American Kestrel with spectacular images and photos of the cuban race of Broad-winged Hawk (Buteo platypterus cubanensis). This local resident bird photo can be seen in Appendix 5, Avian Photography of this report. This ecologically important Biosphere Reserve is located in the Guaniguanico Mountain Range in western Cuba. The entire bio-region was identified as an important bio-reserve by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), an international organization dedicated to nature conservation and sustainable use of natural resources. This area was Cuba’s first biosphere reserve. It protects a total area of 266.86 km2 (103.04 square miles) of tropical forests with evergreen and semi-deciduous environments - perfect habitat for warblers, flycatchers, raptors and various endemics. Some of the important birds found here included Gundlach’s Hawk, Cuban Tody, Cuban Trogon, Cuban Solitaire and Olive-capped Warbler, which we will see during stops later in the trip itinerary. The Sierra del Rosario Biosphere Reserve is located at the eastern part of the mountain range, between the Pinar del Rio and Havana provinces of Cuba. This is one of the geographically narrowest portions of the island. On clear days, one can see both the north and south coasts. One of the greatest locations for birding today with 17 species was a small farm on the outer edge of Las Terrazas. Here we found a large flock of Cuban and Yellow-faced Grassquit. We also had a few Shiny Cowbirds and one of the best views of Cuban Tody for the entire trip. One Great-Lizard Cuckoo climbed a fruit tree in the distance just as a large flock of 100 Tree and 300 Cave Swallows were spotted overhead. With local guide Otis we visit Cafetal Buenavista with its drying terraces and former slave barracks and find many birds including a fantastic tree of Honeycreepers, Indigo Bunting, Cuban Bullfinch, Rose-breasted Grosbeak and Yellow-throated Vireo. (appendix 5). This morning was productive in terms of endemics with some standouts being Cuban Grassquit, Yellow-headed Warbler, Cuban Bullfinch and Cuban Green Woodpecker. Departing Las Terrazas in the rain was a fitting end to our survey of this bio-rich UNESCO protected regon. We say “adios” and continue westward towards Maria La Gorda and the Guanahacabibes Peninsula. Some parts of this range have exposures of Serpentine rock, and here, instead of forest, there is grassland and thorny xeromorphic thickets and scrub lands. This is the region of Cuba famed for cultivating high quality tobacco. Here you find tropical dry and deciduous forests in the hills covered by evergreen, semi-deciduous and coniferous forests with long-needled pines, and thorny xeromorphic thickets, many covered by thick Marabu, an invasive plant from Africa. There are many residential areas with agro-ecosystems of pasture and forest systems, much different from American agrarian land use.

As we entered Pinar del Rio looking for our restaurant, Arturo yells out “Gundlach’s Hawk” and we Chinese fire drill onto

the side of the road to capture excellent distant images and watch the skillful dives of this highly sought after Cuban

endemic Accipiter, closely related to our Coopers Hawk. (appendix 5). The differences lie in the amount of streaking

from the chest to belly, always brownish red and communication calls are distinctly courser and higher pitched with

slower cadences than our Coopers whose calls are more protracted staccato cadences.

Lunch break in Pinar del Rio at “Ristorante Bacanal” we find several caged birds including one Northern Mockingbird

whose freedom we could not procure. The remainder of the day’s trip was spent birding from the bus to Maria La Gorda

Hotel located on the western peninsulas Parque Nacional Guanahacabibes. As we travelled through Pinar del Rio

province we added 29 species including Great Blue Heron, Red-tailed Hawk, several American Kestrel, Smooth-billed Ani,

Killdeer, Black-necked Stilts and a handful of Antillean Palm Swift. We stopped at a lake near village Manuel Lazo, a few

wetland habitats, and drove along the road to PN Guanahacabibes. The group added Northern Jacana, Purple and

Common Gallinule, Eastern Meadowlark and our first Cuban Crow to the species list. Guanahacabibes National Park is a

UNESCO Heritage site that includes 150, 000 acres of mangrove, pine and semi-deciduous forest. There are 15 endemic

plants, 195 species of birds, 70 species of spiders, 12 reptiles and 3 frogs. The geology is about 1-15 million years old and

is the same age as the Zapata tilted from south to north creating unique wetlands important to migratory birds. We

finished our long travel day with dinner at Maria la Gorda’s new restaurant with a bottle of wine, a good day’s bird list of

66 species recorded, 11 endemics and a new countryside of Cuba explored.

January 12, 2016: Day 3 – Travel to Cabo San Antonio, El Verraco and Caleta del Piojo

Endemic Cuban Pygmy Owl was the first bird added this morning as the sun rose. The Maria La Gorda hotel is an excellent place to start birding as it is surrounded by semi-deciduous shrub forest with cigar-shaped climbing cacti and sharp limestone bedrock that is winter home to many Parulids, flycatchers, raptors and Cuban endemics. Sea-pounding, waves crashing the sandy shore are the continuous background sounds along with 2 Laughing Gull and Cuban Crow, a flock of Yellow-faced Grassquit sporadically stopped and mobbed my phishing. We found a good variety of species during a short walk which included Cape-May, Yellow-throated, Yellow-headed Warblers and White-eyed Vireo and Cuban Vireo. The group secured looks at Loggerhead Kingbirds, a handful of fast flying Scaly-naped Pigeon, our first Cuban Pewee, Cuban Oriole, and Cuban Emerald. We only caught fleeting glimpses of Plain Pigeon, one of several species in the family Columbidae we will encounter in Cuba. The Plain Pigeon are found mainly in lowland forest, mangrove and swampy areas in Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico. Populations are threatened in all locations by hunting, logging and forest clearing for plantation agriculture combined with the devastating effects of large hurricanes. According to Arturo, the population has declined considerably in recent years. In Cuba today, the Plain Pigeon is thought to be restricted to six areas: Guanahacabibes (~100 pairs), the Zapata peninsulas, the Sierra de Najasa, Sierra del Chorrillo, cayos Romano and Sabinal, and the Esteros de Birama (an extensive delta wetland complex in eastern Cuba). (A. Kirkconnell, 1999)

Bee Hummingbird (Mellisuga helenae) female and male El Verraco Guanahacabibes Peninsula Day 3 Jan 12 2016 MJGood

The group picks up Belted Kingfisher, Zenaida and Common Ground Dove and one Merlin as we travel along the loop road to La Bajada where we meet our local Parque Nacional Guanahacabibes guide, Osmany. Following the boarder controlled coastal road west we travel through a variety of vegetation to our first stop at El Verraco in our search for target specie Bee Hummingbird. Our first stop produced 2 Cuban Pygmy Owl, a few brightly lit Cuban Oriole, Lesser Yellowlegs, Green Heron, Snowy Egret and 3 Killdeer rounded out this list. Our search for Zunzuncito takes us a short drive and walk to 21.54673N/-84.38137W where we locate one male and female Bee Hummingbird responding to phishing. At first male Bee was found sitting very high in a bare tree but he suddenly appeared near my position not ten feet away. Many photos where shot of this singing male sitting towards the top of a Poncea shrub. The female also sat for us in shadowy light and was seen fliting about all around our group sometimes resting before moving on. This is xeric shrub land is home to Cuban Bullfinch, several warblers, and the Cuban Tody or Cartacuba. We also observed the endemic species Cuban Green Woodpecker, Great Lizard Cuckoo. There is some trepidation in the scientific community about the Cuban Tody and other Cuban endemics like Zunzuncito because Island populations have limited range size and the island has been traditionally manipulated by modern civilizations. Current shifts in development are reducing habitat important to the survival of endemics along with other factors creating a negative ripple effect on population size and health. From the checkpoint at La Bajada to the lighthouse on Cabo San Antonio is approximately 38 miles (61 km). On this leg of the trip, we traveled approximately 24 miles to Caleta del Piojo. This first section of beach to the south of the road is referred to as “La Barca,” home to nesting sea turtles and iguana. Woodland and mangroves cover much of the landscape, providing important habitat for a wide variety of bird species. Over 170 species have been reported here, along with deer, wild pigs, and iguanas. The landscape changes to exposed limestone cliffs rising 20 meters above the Caribbean Sea, where we found the marooned ship “Union Express” on shore. Our next destination on Cabo San Antonio is Caleta del Piojo, a well-known small wetland eco-complex where we find 24 species including a notable Scissor-tailed Flycatcher (Tyrannus forficatus) in the scope. According to Arturo, T. forficatus represents the first winter resident bird recorded for Cuba and a first for any CCT trip I have lead. Knowing this, I set off and photographed closer views of this bird. In the shrubs we located Yellow-throated, Prairie, Magnolia, Northern Parula and Palm Warblers. A number of ducks were found along with American Coot and a good variety of Ardeidae.

“Union Express” near shore The western most beaches of Cuba, Cabo San Antonio

The final locations for the morning are the extreme western sand beaches and the Faro Roncali. The remarkable island of Cuba stops and it is another 60 miles of ocean to reach Mexico making Cabo San Antonio important link for North and South America migrations to Central and South America. As one would expect Brown Pelican, Royal Tern and Magnificent Frigatebird are present at Roncali. At Villa Cabo San Antonio, a West Indian Woodpecker is photographed. 15 Indigo Bunting were seen along the road under Roncali along with American Redstart and Palm Warbler. (21.53936N/-84.56161 Faro Roncali). We depart for Maria La Gorda and a short lunch break. After a sumptuous lunch we ventured on to La Bajada and met Osmani at La Bajada, for a walk along the “endemic trail” behind the ranger station. This produced excellent views of La Sagra’s Flycatcher, Cuban Tody, and Cuban Trogon and Cuban Crow. The survey group saw tremendous scoped views of Cuban Green Woodpecker We finished up our day at the La Bajada Lagoon where we observed mixed flocks of American Coot, Northern Shoveler, Ruddy Duck, many Blue-winged Teal, and 5 Black-necked Stilt. By the end of our third field day, we find 544 individual birds representing 66 species, including 11 endemics. The trip total increased to 88 species and a rare winter resident Scissor-tailed Flycatcher (see appendix 5) was discovered.

January 13, 2016: Day 4 – La Bajada Lagoon, Camino de Hoyo del Palmar Cuvero Quemado, Maria La Gorda and

transfer to San Diego De los Banos. Maria La Gorda breakfast starts at 7 am allowing time for a little birding around the compound with Cuban Oriole’s in Coconut palm trees and the amazing dwarf semi-deciduous forest full of Cuban endemics and wintering migrants. Royal Tern act as the welcoming committee on the pier posts near the front entrance of the MLG compound along with the occasional Brown Pelican or Laughing Gull.

The group saw a Great Blue Heron, a Belted Kingfisher, and Cuban Crow that sang its unusual parrot-like calls for us. We departed Hotel Maria La Gorda for our morning walk with local Parque Nacional guide, Osmany. We planned to bird around the Hotel forest but decide to move to another Sendero. One Osprey does a flyby over the Caleta then departs towards the east.

Philipo drives us along the familiar shore road to Camino de Hoyo del Palmar Cuvero Quemado, our second trail of the morning. The group had several excellent observations of 6 Cuban Tody, 3 Cuban Trogon and 1 Cuban Pygmy Owl. We studied the Cuban Emerald, Western Spindalis and several warblers including Northern Waterthrush, Yellow-headed


10

Warbler and American Redstart. Target birds found included 2 Key West Quail Dove crossing the trail and two Blue-headed Quail Dove as we began our return to Maria La Gorda.

Bee Hummingbird (Mellisuga helenae) male Maria La Gorda Guanahacabibes, Cuba Jan 13 2016 MJGood

As soon as we departed the bus Arturo picks up a male Bee Hummingbird calling and sure enough he puts on a display for everyone. The gold to red gorget was sparkling in the morning sun for some of the best images of the trip. We finished our morning on the Maria La Gorda grounds, were we obtained excellent images of Cuban Vireo, Cuban Oriole, and a few views of Cape May Warbler.

Travel days allow an opportunity to observe the Cuban landscape and make a few birding stops along the way. Today we transferred from Maria La Gorda to Hotel Mirador in San Diego de los Banos. During the first leg of the trip, we travelled by Los Palacios fish ponds, where several birds were added, such as Great Egret and Caspian Tern. Our final destination, Hotel Mirador, is nestled in the village of San Diego De los Banos which we reached at sunset, in time to hear Antillean Palm Swifts peeping in the thatched roofs.

After a trip list review and some excellent food, we called it a day with 14 Cuban endemics, 41 species seen and 862 individual birds giving us a total of 90 species for the trip.

January 14, 2016: Day 5 – Cueva Portales, Los Pinos and transfer to Playa Larga

After a leisurely breakfast at Hotel Mirador we met local guide, Caesar Suarez, for a drive through historic Hacienda

Cortina and eventually arrived at Cueva Portales. Along the way we added a Little Blue Heron, and a few Common

Ground Dove. Driving through the winding Marabu lined Parque Nacional La Guira roads and rural landscape we begin

to see the mogote limestone geology so regionally famous. Cueva Portales provided the obscurity needed for Che

Guevara and his men during the Missile Crisis of 1962. The tall stalactite celling’s with deep crevices are daytime homes

for Free-tailed and Fruit-eating Bats, one of 26 species for the area.

Stepping in and out of the cave one is struck by the beauty that Che’ must have experienced with the fluty-magical calls

of Cuban Solitaire, Tody and Trogon all ricocheting bouncing among the ancient walls. Cuban Pygmy Owl is heard

screeching off in the distance. Around the cave and down to walkway we encounter several Cuban Bullfinch and a few

warblers in the Cecropia and tall Fig canopy. We scoped out Scaly-naped Pigeon in the dim wet distance, a Giant Lizard

Cuckoo, got great looks at warblers and a Cuban Solitaire along the stream. Everyone heard the heavenly, ethereal call


11

of Solitaire’s echoing around the compound. A Peregrine Falcon strafed the hillside causing consternation among many

birds moving away as it shot by. In one Cecropia tree along the stream we had close views of Red-legged Thrush

foraging and a Cuban Trogon sat in the astutely still in the scope. One Brown Pelican fly’s-over near the tobacco fields as

CCT leaves for Los Pinos. Cueva Portales produced 19 species and 8 endemics.

One more short stop was planned for the morning at Los Pinos, a location in the mogote hills known for Olive-capped

Warbler, of which we located 2 foraging in the long-needled Pines. One male Cuban Northern Flicker was heard well

than scoped out showing the lack of a white rump patch unlike the migratory Northern’s. Winding through Hacienda

Cortina we make our way our way back to Hotel Mirador for lunch. A small flock of Tawny-shouldered Blackbirds along

with many Antillean Palm Swifts are circling about Mirador. It was a wonderful lunch under the palm thatched roofs.

Travel to Playa Larga

The long drive through provinces Pinar del Rio, Artemisa, Havana, Mayabeque, and Matanzas takes about 5 hours but is

necessary to bird in the largest wetland in the West Indies, Zapata. A couple of birding stops were made along the way.

The first birding location was 6 VIAS and Nina Bonita reservoir where we discover a record Tufted Duck (Aythya fuligula)

which had a uniformed bill, uniformed face and rounded head, yellow eye and a slight eye-line, dark back and brown-

mottled flanks, white on the secondary tips. 450 Lesser Scaup shows white on the face, we counted many Pied-billed

Grebe, 55 Ruddy Duck, Great Egret, and a Great Blue Heron. 33 Brown Pelican were notable as was the lack of Blue-

winged Teal found here in the fall in large numbers. 3 Forester Terns with black behind the eye and white overall were

noted first by Diana and 2 Ring-billed Gull added to our list of 14 species for this stop.

Philipo maneuvered us through the complicated maze of Havana, past the University and Lenin Parque, and finally into

less populated Mayabeque province. Once into Matanzas we were alerted by Arturo who spotted Gavilan del Monte

(Red-tailed Hawk) flying in the sunny sky. There are fourteen recognized subspecies of Red-tailed Hawk, which vary in

appearance and range. Naturalist Thomas Barbour 1935 named the lighter morph Cuban Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo

jamaicensis solitudinus) which is thought to be found only on the Bahamas and Cuba. Like other races or subspecies,

they do not overlap in range. In Cuba there is yearly influx of migratory birds like the one we observed as well.

Around 7:10, we reached Hotel Playa Larga had a brief moment of relaxation before the evening birding list. At the end of travel day 5 we recorded 50 species, 1,124 individual birds, added endemics Cuban Solitaire, Olive-capped Warbler and had an opportunity to witness the variety of landscapes traversed along the way. We have a grand total of 103 species to date.

January 15, 2016: Day 6 - Bermejas Refugio de Fauna, La Cuchilla and Caleta Buena

We started this morning with a 5:30 AM breakfast and 6 AM departure to travel about 35 Km in the dark, along a well-

traveled coastal road, searching unsuccessfully for a Barn Owl, while on the way to Bermejas Wildlife Refuge. The Bay of

Pigs or better known as Playa Giron is on our right, framed by red-sunlit deciduous forest along the entire way south.

We passed through historic Giron and traveled northeast through several small hamlets, keeping our eyes open for

Gundlach’s Hawk or other avian prizes.

Bermejas is an important bastion of ecological diversity and affords a glimpse of the role played by ancient forests that

once covered all of Cuba, but were long ago cleared for agricultural cultivation and human habitation. Along the road we


12

met our local guide and refuge warden, Orlando Ramirez, who led us through the refugio trail maze with forest birds

calling everywhere.

The first hour was spent in the forest waiting for and eventually finding both species of endemic quail dove. It was

during these quiet times that other birds would approach us, such as the Zenaida Dove, Red-legged Thrush, Greater

Antillean Grackle or the many warblers that descended on us, such as Ovenbird, Black-throated Blue and endemic

Yellow-headed Warbler.

We observed many of the Columbidae family, including one Blue-headed Quail Dove at the blind, 6 Zenaida Doves, one Grey-fronted Quail Dove and a couple Mourning Dove. The endangered Blue-headed Quail Dove (Starnoenas cyanocephala) is a ground-dwelling bird endemic to Cuba. The bird’s population has declined in the last century due to hunting and habitat loss. The subtropical forest ecosystems in which the Blue-headed Quail-dove resides are so severely reduced that it is considered a rare species due to its restricted geographical range and low abundance. The population status and ecology of the Blue-headed Quail-dove remain understudied mainly due to quail-doves shy and elusive behavior. The long, conspicuous, white line under the eye and black eye-line set off the iridescent blue on the top of the head. The black chest and metallic blue on the throat make this arguably one of the most beautiful birds on the island. The Cubans call it Perdiz for the sound it makes when it is flushed. Quail Doves typically require a little patience because they are shy of humans, probably in part due to hunting. We heard the hurried “hup-hup-hup” of the endangered Grey-fronted Quail Dove (Camao), eventually locating it calling from a nearby roost. Dark-gray above and gray below, the male Gray-fronted Quail Dove has a rich metallic blue mantle with a hint of purple iridescence, and a delicate dull-gray crown, especially around the chest and head, as we saw in the scope.

It was delightful to hear Cuban Vireo simultaneously calling with many Cuban Trogons, Cuban Tody, and Green

Woodpecker, as well as the variety of wintering birds vocalizing in this rich habitat. The vibrant diversity of flora and

fauna provided a contrast to the stark and quiet North American winter most of our group recently left behind. There

were birds preening, feeding, or drinking at waterholes, which provide a critical resource and focal point for forest birds.

One of the day’s delights was a white-morph American Kestrel calmly perched along the road for all to see and

photograph.

Palm trees provide welcome roosts for Cuban Pygmy and Bare-legged Owls. Both birds are Cuban endemics and were

found after checking a few known locations. The Cuban Pygmy Owl communicated its location to us. The owl with “eyes

in the back of his head” made quite an impression on all of us when we saw it in Parque Nacional Guanahacabibes! One

of the best events of the morning was finding two Bare-legged Owls peering out of their roost opening in an old hollow

palm tree. Initially we were greeted with one then two round faces sitting inquisitively at the top of the open palm trunk

before they flew off and out of sight. The Owls disappeared quickly into the under-bush so we searched another known

location, this time we had excellent close views of the Cuban endemic Owl with bare-legs.

Bermejas Refugio de Fauna is an immensely productive stop yielding 25 species, 12 endemic birds and a walk of about 5

miles through these musical forests. The search was on for Fernandina’s Flicker taking us to a water soaked section of

the Zapata with barrel-bellied palm trees dotting the landscape where we find a male and 2 females after some peering

through the underbrush on two attempts. Our next location, La Cuchilla, allows us one female Red-shouldered Blackbird

and add 2 Limpkin, and 2 Crested Caracara sitting than flying about.

As temperatures rose towards 90F, we headed to our all-inclusive lunch stop at Caleta Buena, a small protected inlet and

cenote where we also took some time to survey birds. The group decided to not swim today but instead searched for

Magnificent Frigatebird. Michael took off for a short walk and ended up photographing White-eyed, Cuban and Yellow-

throated Vireos. This time of year, this xeric shrub habitat around Caleta Buena is dry and karstic, with a mixture of

invasive Marabu, creeping cactus, and deciduous trees growing on exposed limestone bedrock. One wonders how

anything survives, but the nutrients are somehow available as is fresh water producing the dense undergrowth suitable

for warblers, vireos and flycatchers. Stygian and Cuban Pygmy Owls also have been found here.

Relaxing after lunch and entertained by darting Cave Swallows we eventually depart for the open palm speckled plains

and semi-deciduous forests of Soplillar. We counted 23 species of birds at our first Sopillar stop including an over-

wintering Wood Thrush, Red-legged Thrush, a handful of warblers and a catbird added to the local’s chorus. As we

exited the bus at Sopillar we were serenaded by 7 Cuban Parrots and immediately well seen in the scope. One notable

Cuban Red-tailed Hawk was observed and many saw the whiter overall plumage of these Cuban subspecies.

By the end of this day, we saw or heard 51 species, 16 Cuban endemics, and a new total of 113 species for the trip. The

day ended at Hotel Playa Larga with an exquisite sunset over the Bay of Pigs, an evening bird list and dinner.

Sunset over Bahia de Cochinos Tres Amigos: Orlando, Frank and Arturo

January 16, 2016: Day 7 - La Turba, Criadero de Cocodrilos, Sopillar, Tiki Paladar, and Las Salinas

Breakfast started at 5:30 AM, followed by a 6:00 AM departure for La Turba with Frank, our local guide. Zapata Wren

and Zapata Sparrow were the first highly sought after species for the morning. The Wren was seen well during the 35

minutes we spent with a calling male which crosses the road for perfect views. Several Black-crowned Night Heron

departed past us and we heard Black Rails and Common Gallinule.

The mosquitoes were a minimal bother today as we walked to a known location for endemic Zapata or Cuban Sparrow.

We also observed Northern Waterthrush, American Restart, Northern Parula, Prairie Warbler and Ovenbird for Parulids.

Among them were Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, Giant Lizard Cuckoo and La Sagra’s Flycatcher defining the diversity found in

the Zapata. The group quickly located 3 Cuban Sparrows, which descended on us from the surrounding trees and

approached amazingly close, preening and feeding along the trail. Our success at La Turba allowed us to depart early for

a quick walk around La Boca Criadero de Cocodrilos for Purple Gallinule before heading back to Sopillar.

Philipo dropped us off at 9:40 am in Sopillar which started our search for possible Stygian Owl and target species

Fernandina’s Flicker. Giant Lizard Cuckoo, Cuban Pygmy Owl, Tody and Trogon were found along with several Cuban


14

endemics previously seen. We had excellent observations of La Sagra’s Flycatcher, Green Heron and Gray Catbird as we

walked into the open palm dotted fields chasing Fernandina’s Flicker. Many Smooth-billed Ani flew out of the shrubs as

we explored the farmland on our walk back to the bus.

A lone Fernandina’s Flicker’s call led us to a distant Ceiba (Ceiba pentandra) or Kapok tree surrounded by thick and

impenetrable underbrush. Frank excitingly locates a male Fernandina’s Flicker, startling him from the north side of the

Ceiba to an open view not far away. Entering the thick underbrush, we encountered two secretive Swainson’s

Warblers, at least one Worm-eating Warbler foraging in a small flock with American Redstart, Ovenbirds, Northern

Waterthrush, Yellow-headed and Prairie Warblers.

Cuban Sparrow (Torreornis inexpectata) Swainson’s Warbler (Limnothlypis swainsonii) Fernandina’s Flicker (Colaptes fernandinae)

We enjoyed a fine lunch at the Tiki Paladar from 12:30 to 1:45 PM. Dotting the sky were 2 Brown Pelican, one Neotropic

Cormorant and an Osprey. We depart Playa Larga for our drive along the Sendero Salina de Brito, making three stops

along the way at towers built for observation and study of the mangrove salt flats. We experienced the bio-rich

mangrove habitat of Las Salinas and had opportunities to walk along the narrow road searching for the Caribbean race

of Yellow Warbler which we found.

Noteworthy is that the water level is high due to recent rain making it difficult to find mudflat shorebirds. We located

126 American White Pelicans, a species whose numbers have significantly increased in Cuba during the last five years,

along with 12 Black Skimmer. We did find an assortment of water birds, including 289 American Flamingos standing like

Christmas ornaments on the flats, filtering the shallow water for brine shrimp. We observed only one Roseate Spoonbill,

6 Wood Stork flew in for photos as we were leaving, along with Caspian Terns, many Heron and several White Ibis were

all seen. The only raptors seen were 2 Cuban Black Hawks and 2 Osprey. Shorebird numbers were very low because of

the high water with only a 2 Greater Yellowlegs against the mangrove backdrop.

We returned to Playa Larga with a colorful sunset ending our day with a bird list and dinner at Enrique’s Paladar in Playa

Larga…. the food was delightful. Our Stygian Owl in Playa Larga was the desert. Today in our travels through Cienaga de

Zapata the CCT survey log 70 species, comprised of 1,257 individuals, added 10 new species and time with 10 Cuban

endemics bringing our total to 133 species at days in.

January 17, 2016: Day 8 - Travel day from Playa Larga to Cayo Coco and the Northern Archipelago

A little birding begins the day at Playa Larga with our first Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, 25 Cuban Parrots, only a few Greater Antillean Grackle, a dozen White Ibis, a handful of Warblers and a total of 11 species before breakfast and check out for our transfer to Hotel Cayo Coco and the northern archipelago. Traveling along the Autopista to Cayo Coco we added an Osprey in Cienfuegos province, along with several species of

heron, Crested Caracara and a Red-tailed Hawk. Entering Santa Clara province, we made a quick rest stop at Mile 259

where Howard Winer and I heard an Eastern Meadowlark which proved difficult to see well because of lighting and

position behind grass.

Our stop for lunch at Rio Azul produced Louisiana Waterthrush, American Redstart, Black-throated Blue and Yellow-

throated Warbler before the final leg of our journey. Eastern Meadowlark had not been seen by everyone creating one

stop near the Moron fishponds. As we crossed towards the fields one yellow-breasted Eastern Meadowlark flew up

followed by a second hunkered down in the grass. Another bird added to everyone’s list.

We finished up mainland Cuba after crossing the 17-Km causeway finding typical suspects including one Magnificent

Frigatebird, 2 Red-breasted Merganser females, one Peregrine Falcon, 23 Laughing Gull and one unexpected Great

Black-backed Gull as we began our birding on Cayo Coco and the Jardines del Rey (Gardens of the King). The causeway

road traverse’s shallow coastal waters which at times produce copious forage fish for all of these diving birds. The

shallows around all the cayos support millions of migratory and wintering shorebirds. This crossing we only found 3

Brown Pelican and 5 Double-crested Cormorant, suggesting food stocks may be spotty.

Our first birding stop on Cayo Coco started around 3:30 pm with a bus full of mosquitoes on Alberto who ventured

outside first, followed by humans swatting them into submission as we drove off not interested in birding here. This

resulted in a slow drive to our hotel through the mangrove and salt flats of eastern Cayo Coco generating 2 Cuban Black

Hawk, a pile of Eurasian Collared-Dove, 12 Magnificent Frigatebird and an American Kestrel white morph.

We tallied 30 species and 401 individual birds today, have now recorded 23 of the 25 possible Cuban endemics and a

total of 137 species. We made our way to Hotel Sol Cayo Coco and our first night on the northern Cuba coast.

January 18, 2016: Day 9 - Cayo Romano and Paredon Grande, Playa Coloradas and Cayo Guillermo

A big Day 9 started with early morning coffee and a 6:00 AM departure with local guide, Paulino Lopez Delgado, heading

for Cayo Romano and Paredon Grande. Our target species today were endemics Oriente Warbler, Cuban Gnatcatcher

and endangered Thick-billed Vireo (Vireo crassirostris cubensis), one of 6 subspecies of this Caribbean endemic. We

traveled from Cayo Coco to Cayo Romano, the largest island in the northern archipelago, and finally reached our

destination of Cayo Paredon Grande around 7:30am. Along the way, we witness the impact of future hotel

development on these pristine and sensitive landscapes.

The road traverse’s mangrove salt flats where we found 2 Cuban Black Hawks, a white morph American Kestrel and a

statuesque Peregrine Falcon terrorizing the shorebirds. On Cayo Romano we found small flocks of 18 Short-billed

Dowitcher, 6 Greater Yellowlegs, 10 Semipalmated, 80 Least Sandpiper and 1 Western scoped out among the flock.

Charadriidae are well represented including Black-bellied, Semipalmated and 21 Killdeer this morning. Threskiornithidae

are represented with 10 White Ibis and grazing at the water’s edge, 8 Roseate Spoonbill with two roosting in a tree. This


16

stop produced many shorebirds whose numbers have been low for most of our trip due impart to torrential rains filling

coastal mangrove and salt flats.

After a 25-minute drive over Cayo Romano we cross the bridge to Cayo Paredon Grande. In the shallows we find 450

Blue-winged Teal, some Northern Shoveler and a single American Wigeon. The northern cays round out our Cuban

experience and endemic bird list with target species, Oriente Warblers and 4 Cuban Gnatcatchers, bringing our total to

25 endemic species for the trip including Cuban Bullfinch. We located 9 Thick-billed Vireo, a Caribbean endemic, being

restricted to The Bahamas, the Caymans, the Turks and Caicos, two islands off of Cuba. Thick-billed Vireo is primarily

insectivorous eating eat dragonflies, caterpillars, but also eats some fruit like Bursera simaruba, commonly known as

gumbo-limbo or turpentine tree.

During our walk at the northern end of Paredon Grande, we experienced a couple of gregarious Cuban Black Hawks

calling “Batista” near the lighthouse, which was constructed in 1859. We encountered 10 species of warblers including

wonderful views of American Redstart, Cape May, Black and White, Black-throated Blue and Oriente Warbler (Teretistris

fornsi), a Cuban endemic, whose natural habitats are dry forests, lowland moist forests, montane moist forests, and

xeric shrublands. Cayo Paredon Grande consists of dry coastal shrub habitat mixed with thick stands of Silver palm.

While driving off the island, we spot Reddish, 27 Great and 1Snowy Egret, 2 Tricolored and 3 Great Blue Heron which

brought our tally of species seen here to 29.

We made our way back to our hotel for a late breakfast, then ventured off to Playa Los Coloradas where located 5

endangered Piping Plover and a male and female Snowy Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus), my first on Cuba. They are

joined on the beach with a couple of Ruddy Turnstones, 24 Sanderlings, a close-up Royal Tern and 2 Brown Pelicans.

After finding target species Piping and Snowy Plover we continue on the road to the first of two sewage ponds. We are

treated to 15 West Indian Whistling Duck sitting in a bear tree, 45 Black-necked Stilts, 50 Blue-winged Teal, 1 Mangrove

Cuckoo heard and 5 species of warblers including 5 Northern Waterthrush. The second lagoon was excellent for “Life

Bird” Clapper Rail, Tri-colored and Green Heron and good views of a flying Cuban Black Hawk.

We ended the day’s bird list with all 25 Cuban endemics, 65 species seen, 1,222 individual birds and a total of 163

species counted. After our birding experience on the northern cays, we gained an appreciation of the importance of the

northern archipelago to an amazingly diverse number of native and migratory species.

January 19, 2016: Day 10 - Cayo Coco, Travel to Hotel Camino del Principe, Remedios

A travel day starting with Cuban coffee at 6:00 AM and departure for Cayo Guillermo and birding with local guides

Paulino, Miguel Bueno and Arturo Kirkconnell. Weather is a concern today and rain gear is needed for the steady

northwest winds on the heel of snowstorms to the north that will disrupt future travels. Our target species for the

morning, Bahama Mockingbird, has been subjected to recent habitat loss and fragmentation. I believe our presence at

this location is an important reminder of the value Bahama Mockingbird has to future ecotourism. Recent work on 2

hotels in this location have seriously hampered our efforts to find this species. There could be a seasonal variation

component but prior to construction always found this bird during the entire winter. Pictures below are from an April

and January trip prior to development. Preserving habitat in this location is paramount to the success of this and other

cuban specialty bird species.


17

Bahama Mockingbird (Mimus gundlachii) 4/12/2013 and 2 photos from 1/20/2012

Birding the 35 Km west to Cayo Guillermo included Cuban Black Hawk, Crested Caracara and the occasional Cuban race American Kestrel (Falco sparverius sparverioides). One Mangrove Cuckoo was seen skulking in the shrubs but we could not coax it out for better views. Warblers this morning include our only Yellow-rumped Warbler, a couple of Prairie, 1 Black-throated Blue and 4 Palm Warbler as we walk through the coastal scrub forest found on Cayo Guillermo. The steady northwest wind today becomes a factor as we drove to a known site for a wintering Brown Booby. With many Royal Tern on the pier and beach we did locate one Ring-billed Gull, 10 Ruddy Turnstone and 7 Sanderling but dipped on the Brown Booby residing here for many months. We moved to the Cayo Guillermo lagoons where once again we found high water and very little avian diversity. We located 9 Greater Flamingo, 1 Snowy Egret, a Magnificent Frigatebird, a few Blue-winged Teal and 67 Laughing Gull as we leave Cayo Guillermo. No shorebirds were seen.

To finish our morning, we decided to move east towards Cayo Coco and bird around Cueva de Jabali. The coastal road

wanders erratically through Uva sea-grape and Silver Palm, along the northern coast of Cayo Coco. These days Cueva de

Jabali is a disco by night and daytime home to Long-eared Bats. It is also known as a birding location for Quail Dove and

warblers, the Cayo Coco race of Zapata Sparrow (Torreornis inexpectata varonai) and a variety of other Cuban endemics.

With very little time, the group situated ourselves between the two water drips set up years ago by Paulino. Before long

we have 2 Key West Quail and 2 Common Ground Dove strutting about displaying for us. The habitat around the cave is

always species rich and produces a few Cuban Bullfinch, 1 Cuban Tody, a Yellow-faced Grassquit, 1 Ovenbird, 1 Northern

Parula and 1 Black-throated Blue Warbler. Short on time and ready for breakfast the CCT group returns to Sol Cayo Coco.

After eating, some of the group walked over to Hotel Melia Cayo Coco for the last CCT survey of the area which included

our first White-winged Dove (Zenaida asiatica) for the list. We added a beautiful female Northern Flicker (Cuban)

(Colaptes auratus chrysocaulosus) and a few herons for our effort. With checkout at noon for a 2:00 pm departure, the

group had time for some birding around the hotel grounds. We tallied 2 Brown Pelicans diving near the beach, Common

Ground Dove, 4 Cuban Emeralds, a few warblers and a Cuban Vireo before leaving.

The road to Havana and travel to Remedios started with the crossing of the Cayo Coco 17km causeway resulting in our

first Herring Gull mixed in with 42 Laughing Gull, 95 Double-crested Cormorant, 5 Brown Pelican and 13 wintering Red-

breasted Merganser. Our drive to Remedios through the cuban countryside produces our only Limpkin (Aramus

guarauna), which looks like large rail but is skeletally closer to cranes. It is the only extant species in the genus Aramus

and the family Aramidae. From the bus we find 1 Merlin, a Crested Caracara and 3 Osprey.

The day ends in the picturesque village Remedios with lodging at Hotel Encanto Camino del Principe. Located on the Montaván y Alejandro central square. Remedios is Cuba’s 8th oldest town in the central province of Villa Clara.


18

We stop the bus and are greeted by a superb view of a preening Peregrine Falcon sitting on the second floor belfry of the Iglesia Mayor and an evening flight of 45 Cuban Martin. With a count of over 350 Rock Pigeon and the occasional martin, there is plenty of food for the Peregrine. The same cathedral is also home to Lechuza, whom we later find perched in the tallest belfry. After a sumptuous dinner at Camino del Principe we relax for the evening in a brand new hotel with a respectable 56 species for the day and 1,433 individual birds seen. Lechuza was our 159th species for the trip.

January 20, 2016: Day 11 - Hotel Camino del Principe, Remedios to Che’s Memorial to Havana

Waking up to a few Antillean Palm Swifts and Cuban Martin was a welcome treat this morning along with the hustle and

bustle of Remedios. We depart late morning making our way to the Che’ Guevara Memorial in Santa Clara city and

eventually the capital city of Havana. During the drive across 4 provinces and a quick lunch stop along the way, we

managed to discover 1 Northern Parula, American Redstart, Cape May, Black-throated Blue, Palm and Yellow-throated

Warbler, 5 Cuban Blackbirds and 5 million Cattle Egret . Also seen were Red-tailed Hawk, 1 Crested Caracara, about 75

Tree Swallows and 3 Great Blue Heron.

Our evening accommodations at the Hotel Palco are situated near the River Quibu in western Havana. The Quibu river

proves excellent for 9 species of warbler including, (new trip species) Tennessee, Black-throated Blue, Cape May, and

Black and White Warbler, 8 Northern Parula and 1 Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. We also flushed a Spotted Sandpiper from the

plastic laden banks of the river. At the end of our last day in Cuba we logged 32 species, many found around Hotel

Palco and our impromptu Quibu river walk, bringing our total to 160 species for the trip.

We culminate our Cuba Bird Survey with an excellent farewell dinner on the Rio Almendares with views of Havana and

the sea. Our celebration marks the end of the birding journey with Cuban specialist Arturo Kirkconnell at the finale of

the Caribbean Conservation Trust Cuba Bird Survey. I am saddened always as I say “Adios, Hasta la próxima”.

January 21, 2016: Day 12 – Hotel Palco and Havana Viejo via vintage cars.

No trip to Havana is complete without an adventure in a vintage Cuban car to the Caribbean jewel, Habana Viejo, where

we plan a city tour with Havanatur guide Alberto. The only birds we see are common city birds but the scenery, people

and buildings are vintage Havana, Cuba. Our first stop is Plaza de la Revolucion, one historic location not to be miss. The

story of post-Fidel Cuba was written here in hour long monologs and speeches by leaders of Cuba, dignitaries and popes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:RemediosChurch.jpg


19

over the last 50 years, in a square designed and build by Fidel Castro. The Jose Marti memorial, patriarch of Cuba,

stands tall in front of Palacio de la Revolucion, where heads of State conduct daily government duties. Scanning the

precipice, we locate 1 Peregrine Falcon perched on a gargoyle. The CCT group is met by 4 vintage cars who whisk us to

Havana Viejo via the famous Malecón. We pass by the American Embassy, Hotel Nacional, El Morro Castel finally

stopping at Iglesia y Convento de San Francisco plaza and the beginning of our city tour. After a few moments covered

by Rock Pigeon, Alberto leads us around the Havana Viejo showing us the 4 recently renovated squares that are the

touristic and cultural hubs of the city. As we were buying used books at Plaza de Armas, we run into Arturo Kirkconnell

walking to his office at the Museo Nacional de Historia Natural. It was a happy reunion and another opportunity to say

good-by to our amigo.

After visiting the Catedral de la Havana square we ventured into our restaurant “La Moneda Cuban” for a wonderful

view of Morro Castle and Cristo de La Habana. This large sculpture representing Jesus of Nazareth stands on the hilltop

overlooking the bay. A masterpiece made from Carrara marble by Cuban sculptor Jilma Madera, who won the

commission in 1953. Legend suggests that Marta Batista, wife of President Fulgencio Batista, financed the construction

of the Cristo de la Habana statue. It is on the way back to Hotel Palco along the canal to Havana harbor that we see

Sandwich Tern (Thalasseus sandvicensis), a smaller sleek gull than Royal with a yellow-tipped black bill flying west out

of the Havana harbor adding our 161st species and final bird to the January 10-22 trip list. The day ends with dinner at

Hotel Palco and preparation for a morning Miami departure.

January 22, 2016: Day 13 – Hotel Palco and departure from Jose Marti for Miami.

Our last day in Cuba and our final breakfast at Hotel Palco. This is time for relaxed conversations, reflections and an

adventure in cuban culinary design. Tropical rainfall greets us today with some windy gusts but it appeared that the

front will pass by and should clear prior to our departure.

A few Cuban Blackbirds, Greater Antillean Grackles and Palm Warbler were our farewell birds before departure to Miami

from Jose Marti airport. During our Cuban travels the group observed 13 of the 25 threatened species recorded in Cuba

during our bird survey. We documented the first winter resident Scissor-tailed Flycatcher in Guanahacabibes, numerous

Neotropical migrants, almost all members of the Ardeidae family and life-listed all of the possible cuban endemics

except for Giant Kingbird. By and large, the January 10-22, 2016 was a successful Cuban Bird Survey with 161 total

species seen or heard. Knowledge of the wintering ranges and ecology of these and other species is critical to

understanding apparent declines in their populations. What is needed are defined studies and field work that focus on

collecting habitat-specific, demographic and site-fidelity data to help assess habitat preferences for Neotropical migrants

throughout the non-breeding season.

During the 13-day January 2016 Cuban Bird Survey we recorded a total of 22 species and 390 individual members of the

Parulidae family. This low number could reflect a lack of effort or weather conditions combined with the time of year.

The group had an opportunity to appreciate the secretive Swainson’s Warbler and captured quick views of Worm-

eating Warbler in the Soplillar forest. Common eastern North American migrants included daily records for Palm

Warbler, Black-throated Blue Warbler, Black-throated Green Warbler, Common Yellowthroat, American Redstart, and

Cape May Warbler. Palm and Yellow-headed Warbler were the most numerous species encountered with 93 and 96

respectively. Also observed were Tennessee Warbler (Oreothlypis peregrina), considered an uncommon transient,

Louisiana Waterthrush (Parkesia motacilla) and Northern Waterthrush (Parkesia noveboracensis). We easily located the

endemic Oriente, Yellow-headed and endemic sub-species Olive-capped Warblers, each in its respective habitat. CCT

data continue to clearly demonstrate that Cuba is vital to myriad migratory species, and supports a large population of

wintering Neotropical and eastern North American breeding birds.

The January 10-22 group collectively saw 24 of the 26 endemics: Gundlach’s Hawk, Cuban Black-Hawk, Gray-fronted Quail-Dove, Blue-headed Quail-Dove, Bare-legged Owl, Cuban Pygmy-Owl, Greater Antillean Nightjar, Bee Hummingbird, Cuban Trogon, Cuban Tody, Cuban Green Woodpecker, Fernandina’s Flicker, Cuban Parakeet, Cuban Vireo, Zapata Wren, Cuban Gnatcatcher, Cuban Solitaire, Yellow-headed Warbler, Oriente Warbler, Cuban Grassquit, Zapata Sparrow, Red-shouldered Blackbird, Cuban Blackbird and Cuban Oriole. Cuban Bullfinch is not yet recognized by the AOU but shortly will become the 27th Cuban Endemic. (Garrido et al., Bull. BOC 2014:134(2)).

Our Cuban Bird Survey program is coordinated under U.S. government authorization by the Caribbean Conservation

Trust, which is based in Connecticut. Along with Michael J. Good, our team also included Arturo Kirkconnell, Curator of

Ornithology at Cuba’s National Museum of Natural History, Alberto, our bilingual Cuban tour guide, and our driver,

Philipo.

Cuba Bird Survey Avian Photography by Michael J. Good, MS

The following photographs were shot during the January 10-22, 2016 Caribbean Conservation Trust Cuba Bird Survey as documentation of our group effort. Several species stand out but Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, Wood Thrush and the Cuban endemics are a lasting gift from Cuba. Photography adds to the Cuban record of any migratory species. Cuba Bird Survey Avian Photography: have been added to the Macaulay Library, Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology through eBird. Thank you to everyone. Your group effort added personal life birds and new species to the Cuban Bird Survey and context for a deeper understanding of Cuban Avian ecology. Every birding trip is a learning experience with goals and expectations reached and exceeded. Experienced birders adding 50 species is one expectation reached on our survey. Thank you for the opportunity as it was a great pleasure working with the January team. Miguel Juan Bueno February 15 2016 Three Pines Bird Sanctuary, Town Hill, Maine.

Rare glimpse of elusive rail

An ornithological search-team have caught a glimpse of one of the world’s most threatened water birds, the

Critically Endangered Zapata Rail Cyanolimnas cerverai. The sighting is the first documented in more than four

decades and offers hope to conservationists working to ensure its survival.

First described in the early twentieth century, the only nest ever found was reported by ornithologist James

Bond -a name appropriated by Ian Fleming (himself a birder) for 007- although even this report is considered

doubtful. Little has since been discovered about its behavior and breeding ecology. Hopes were fading that

viable populations of the Cuban water bird remained.

The fleeting encounter, now made public, occurred in November 2014. After a series of coordinated surveys of

south-west Cuba’s Zapata Swamp, ornithologists (including Andy Mitchell and staff from the Cuban Museum

of Natural History) struck gold only after deciding to cut thin strips (rides) into the sawgrass to momentarily

expose the secretive birds as they moved through the wetland.

“In the first instance, the head protruded from the sawgrass at the side of the ride,” recounted Andy Mitchell.

“After a few seconds the bird emerged slowly into the open, stopped for a few seconds before moving off into

the sawgrass on the other side of the ride.”

Now rediscovered, conservation efforts for Zapata Rail will target the wetland in which it was spotted, an

Important Bird and Biodiversity Area covering 530,695 ha of wetland in southern Matanzas province. A new

project management plan will be developed to assess the species’ current population size, distribution and

status.

The sighting is the latest victory in Bird Life’s Preventing Extinctions Program, which aims to halt extinctions

through rigorous science and practical conservation delivered by a range of partners on the ground.
