July 2010

Last summer we visited Aruba, in July 2010.
With a Google map I marked four locations where I spotted the following different birds:
Brown Pelican
Crested Caracara
Black-faced Grassquit
Northern Scrub Flycatcher
Brown-throated Parakeet
The best place to go for me was Arikok National Park. Nice walking trails and a lot different birds. I hope to find lots of birds in the Bubali Bird Sanctuary but this was a little bit disappointing. There was a nice lookout tower but not many birds to spot in July.
On location Malmok Beach were a lot of Brown Pelicans near the coast by the rocks.

On location Arashi bay near the California Lighthouse I saw the Crested Caracara - beautiful bird of prey, great bird to spot.

Near our villa, Kunuku, in the middle of the island, we spotted daily the Brown-throated Parakeet.

In Arikok National Park, we saw a lot of small birds like the Black-faced Grassquit

and the Northern Scrub Flycatcher.

We also frequently saw the Troupial and the Chuchubi bird, Tropical Mockingbird.
On my website there are a lot of more photos of different bird I spot in Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao: http://www.bob-photos.com/gallery/v/travel.
