Puerto Rico Trip list!

[semillama]

Just got back from Puerto Rico yesterday. I was there for a conference, so spent most of my time in the San Juan area, but took a guided tour to El Yunque on Monday. My trip list is 47 birds total, with 32 of those being life birds.

Sorry for not posting in taxonomic order!

I also heard but did not see the Puerto Rican Lizard-Cuckoo, and I saw what may have been a tropicbird and what was either a masked or blue-faced booby. I also missed seeing a Northern Parula, but I'll see one on saturday at Magee Marsh, OH, probably.

all in all, a great trip. If you go and are looking for a guide, I recommend the one I used, Adventours. Hilda Morales did a great job making sure I got the maximum amount of birds and was knowledgable about habitats.
