| Puerto Rican Spindalis (female) |
This morning was full of song. Eating breakfast was difficult as interruptions were frequent. Antillean Euphonias, Puerto Rican Bullfinches and a pair of Puerto Rican Spindalis were definitely highlights.
 |
| Saddlebags sp. |
A visit to Laguna Cartegena offered lots of dragonflies and a few butterflies as well as another Masked Duck, West Indian Whistling Duck, Glossy Ibis and Sora.
 |
| Green Iguana |
Unfortunately, introduced Green Iguanas are also quite common here and elsewhere in Puerto Rico. They are pushing out many of the native species of reptiles.
 |
| Lesser Yellowlegs |
Cabo Rojo, our next stop offered many shorebirds… Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, Stilt Sandpipers, Black-necked Stilts and a few Short-billed Dowitchers.
After a quick visit to La Parguera to see a small flock of Yellow-shouldered Blackbirds, we headed off to Guanica in search of the Puerto Rican Nightjar.
