Red-legged Thrush

Dominican Republic North Coast, 10th - 24th Nov 2008

  • The balcony overlooked some fabulous tropical gardens that turned out to be a prime birding location for birding from the balcony with a species list of 17 including delights such as Red-legged Thrush, Hispaniolan Lizard-Cuckoo, Zenaida Dove and various American wood-warblers...Steve Baines reports.

Dominican Republic (Samaná) 13th - 20th December 2008 by Alberto Bueno Mir (.pdf file - In Spanish)

Dominican Getaway Feb. 18-Mar. 2nd 2006

  • Birding the Dominican Republic, as with the other Caribbean Islands, revolves mainly around seeing as many of the island-specific endemics as possible, plus other specialties of the Caribbean basin.  Happily, as of this date at least, all of the Hispaniolan endemics can still be found fairly readily....Paul Prevett reports.
Hispaniola woodpecker

Dominican Republic July 4th 18th 2005-08-05

  • I saw a total of 47 birds during the fortnight. This may not seem a lot but considering it was July and all the American migrants had left it wasn’t too bad at all. It consisted of 40 lifers including 5 endemics, all but 5 species being seen from the hotel grounds...Gareth Jones reports.

Gray Kingbird

Dominican Republic April 11th – 25th 2004

  • I went to the Dominican Republic with a non-birder friend, with the intention of learning to scuba dive.... I have been able to identify 28 different species of birds and four species of lizard, most of which were seen in and around Casa Marina Reef Resort in Sosua (north Dom. Rep)...Jo Dale reports (Photo: Gray Kingbird)

Dominican Republic Jan-Feb 2004

  • We saw 136 species, and heard four more, with 29 lifers for me. Highlights were many, including 4 nightjars, Bay-breasted Cuckoo, and Ridgway’s Hawk. Most endemics were seen well by everyone in the group. Several of the mountain birds were tougher than I had expected....Dave Klauber reports.

Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic 1st June to 13th June 1998

  • This report covers a visit to the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. Having neglected the West Indies despite the availability of such inexpensive holidays a long time, I decided, after five trips to Africa, to travel to the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. The aim of our trip to the West Indies was to get an introduction to the Caribbean birdlife and to see a good variety of the single island endemics.
