Avian Diversity of Trinidad and Tobago
Perched at the crossroads of South America and the Caribbean, Trinidad and Tobago offer one of the richest birding experiences in the tropics, where island endemics mingle with mainland specialties in rainforests, wetlands, and coastal mangroves. From the evening glow of scarlet ibises settling into mangrove roosts to the otherworldly calls of cave-dwelling oilbirds, these islands deliver an astonishing variety of species within remarkably accessible landscapes. This presentation explores what makes Trinidad and Tobago a global birding hotspot—its unique geography, signature birds, and the ways birding here connects ecology, culture, and conservation into a single, unforgettable experience.
Presenters: Clint Quintal, Native of Trinidad and Tobago, and Brevard County School Teacher
