Lesser Antilles Day 10: St Lucia

So off we went, at 6:30 a.m., across the island, to see the white breated thrasher and St Lucia oriole. 



First, the thrasher, in some dry forest on the east side of the island.



And then the oriole, up in the interior, a pretty awful shot, but enough to document the sighting.


And we did see the St Lucia parrots, from a distance, in the center of the island. We also saw a lesser antillean flycatcher...


...and here's an Antillean Crested Hummingbird. Black-whiskered Vireos, Gray Tremblers, Shiny Cowbirds, Carib Grackles, Bananaquits, Lesser Antillean Bullfinches, and a Lesser Antillean Saltator

Also....Scaly-named pigeon, (setting out) Lesser Antillean Swifts, Green-throated Carib.

Then we went to a wetland, where we saw Ring-necked Duck, Lesser Scaups, Pied-billed Grebes, Common Gallinules, American Coots, Greater Yellowlegs, Magnificent Frigatebirds, Little Blue Herons, Snowy Egrets, a Green Heron, Western Cattle Egrets, Great Egrets, a Great Blue Heron, an Osprey, a Gray Kingbird, Barn Swallows, Carib Grackles,  and a Yellow Warbler.Yawn!
