First Day Out After COVID Break

I went back to work from today, the first time in five weeks.  This was because of the government easing some of the restrictions that was put in place because of COVID 19.  I was in the north of the island and checked out one of the wet areas during my lunch break. Only a few common birds were there and the Glossy Ibis (Plegadis falcinellus), a long stay rarity.  It felt great being out in the wet lands again and was happy to see the Ibis was still around. 

The birds I saw
  1. Scaly-naped Pigeon (Patagioenas squamosa)
  2. Eurasian Collared-Dove (Streptopelia decaocto)
  3. Common Ground Dove (Columbina passerina)
  4. Zenaida Dove (Zenaida aurita)
  5. Common Gallinule (Gallinula galeata)
  6. Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis)
  7. Glossy Ibis (Plegadis falcinellus)Carib Grackle (Quiscalus lugubris)
  8. Grassland Yellow-Finch (Sicalis luteola)
  9. Black-faced Grassquit (Melanospiza bicolor)
