12/1/2014  thru 12/12/14  During two weeks, we were part of a group conducting a bird survey in Cuba.  It
was a wonderful opportunity and we enjoyed the people we met and the sights we saw.  We traveled from
Havana to almost the westernmost tip of the island nation, then south to the Zapata Peninsula and then
north to Cayo Coco.  The group counted over 170 species, including an American Pipit which had never
been seen in Cuba before.
The birds shown are not in chronological order:  Blue-headed Quail-Dove , Black-and-white Warbler (m,f) ,
Cuban Pygmy-Owl , Cuban Pewee (two sub species) , Cuban Parrot , and Cuban Solitaire .
12/1/2014  thru 12/12/14  Cuba: a Cuban Parakeet flock put on a show, dashing about the skies and
flashing their red under-wings!  Also , Cuban Oriole (or Black-cowled Oriole) , Cuban Green Woodpecker ,
a Cuban Grassquit pair , and a Green Heron.
12/1/2014  thru 12/12/14  Cuba: La Sagra's Flycatcher individuals were common as were the Greater
Antillian Grackles.  More difficult to see were the Gray-headed Quail-Dove , the Giant Kingbird , and the
Fernandina's Flicker of which we caught photos of both male and female.  We saw a number of
Gundlach's Hawks, but only caught a pic of a distant one.
