Next morning, we were back out, in search of the elusive Whistling Warbler. And so we drove 'round what looked like an old caldera, and then hiked up onto the mountain.
We goit a few glimpese of the Lesser Antillean Tanager at the parking lot, and then it was up into the cloud-forest.
We had a dickens of a time finding the Whistling Warbler, but it finally appeared just before we were about to give up and turn back, too briefly to be photogrpahed, but it whistled at us very obligingly. We did see a Brown Trembler and a Purple Throated Carib.
(I have to figure out how to filter out that greenish forest light.)
We wasted an afternoon back at the Beachcomber, though I did see both a St Vincent Bush Anole, which fell off the roof; and a St Vincent Tree Anole, on a conch shell.
...and the obligatory Brown Booby, cruising the narrow strait between our beach and the rich people's island (York Island).
Also seen: Eared Dove, Laughing Gull, Brown Noddy, Magnificent Frigatebird, Little Blue Heron, Cattle Egret, Caribbean Elaenia, Tropical Mockingbird, Shiny Cowbird, Bananaquit, Black-faced Grassquit.
Then off to Grenada, the Spice Island of the Caribbean!
