PUERTO RICO: Between Tour Update

Puerto Rican Lizard Cuckoo |
Today we finished the first of two Puerto Rico tours in January… the second one starts tomorrow! Trip reports will be added soon, however, on this ‘Endemic Dash’ we found 106 species and 16 of 17 endemics (the critically endangered Puerto Rican Parrot is always hoped to be seen, but never expected).
For a long time there has only been 16 endemics in PR, however, the Greater Antillean Oriole has been split and we have now added Puerto Rican Oriole to the official list! Other splits are pending, including the Loggerhead Kingbird.
Watch for our upcoming reports!
