110/10 Big Year Update: 1st 2 weeks of February


After a very active January, the first two weeks of February were really slow birding.  I did not do much birding, to be honest, and only add one more species, Caribbean Martin (
Progne dominicensis) to the 110/10 Big Year list.

The Goal for Next Two Weeks

Two rare birds were reported in the last two weeks. A Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens) by the Belleplaine Bridge, Belleplaine St. Andrew reported by Ian Glaves a visitor from the UK on the Birds of Barbados, Facebook Group.  The second bird, Great Kiskadee (Pitangus sulphuratus), was also seen by a visitor, this time at the Hilton, Needham's Point St Michael.  This was the same location the first sighting of this species on the island was made in 2016. So both birds are on my list.   A few feasible species that ebird February target list suggested were Barn Swallow Hirundo rustica, Yellow-crowned Parrot (Amazona ochrocephala), and Yellow-crowned Night-Heron (Nyctanassa violacea) will also be on my radar.  So on to the second week of February.
