Cuba Bird Survey 2015

Bob Speare was joined by fifteen Mass Audubon travelers to explore Cuba’s rich combination of diverse birding opportunities, variable landscape, endearing people, and unique cultural history. From a natural history perspective, Cuba never fails to please. The group successfully logged over 150 bird species during ten days of intensive birding, including no fewer than 23 of Cuba’s endemic species found nowhere else in the world! They also had the opportunity to see a number of North American neotropical migrants – species that either spend the winter in Cuba or else stop there on their way to other tropical destinations. They were fortunate to visit several of Cuba’s most spectacular parks, reserves, and Important Bird Areas (IBAs), along with experiencing a variety of Cuba’s rich biodiversity.
