Bahamas: New Providence, Andros, and Key West Quail-Dove June 22 - 28, 2011
  • We had a couple of days on New Providence (where Nassau is) before we started our actual birding trip. During this period we saw several  specialty birds at our hotel, such as Bahama Woodstar, Antillean Nighthawk, Gray Kingbird, Bananaquit, Western Spindalis, and White-crowned Pigeon. 

The Bahamas Spring 1997 (March 28 - April 11)
