Another Trinidad Article

Here’s yet another
Trinidad and Tobago piece found in the Miami
Herald
from two weekends back. One would think I’d get bored reading about the same major events; Carnival, bird
watching, and liming on Tobago’s sleepy beaches, but with every story comes a different and new glimpse at someone
else’s week, month or year spent in the southern most Caribbean islands. Without taking away from all the other
happenings this particular piece brings a lot of attention back to one of the greatest leisure activities to spend a
day or two engaging in – bird watching at the Asa Wright Nature
Center.
On my last visit I stuck to the swamps and channels of Caroni Bird Sanctuary where I watched Scarlet Ibis
call it a day as they flew overhead back to their roosting nests. The Asa Wright nature center sits tucked in the
mountains of the Northern Range of Trinidad and almost guarantees a closer look at some of the country’s 460 birds.
Orange winged Parrot, Bat, Falcon, Common Potoo and Blue-crowned Motmot are only a few to be found. Click here for the center’s bird list. I’ll certainly try to make
it a part of my trip this go round.
