Black Birds on the ABC Islands – Save & share!
There are birds on our islands that still cause a lot of confusion when people ask for their identification. Despite the abundance of books, online information, and social media, some bird species are apparently so similar that they are consistently misnamed, practically creating online wars over who wants to be right. In practice, this usually involves the group of small yellow birds and the group of medium-sized black birds. In this article, we focus on the black breeding birds found on the islands, with comparative photos. To save and share whenever the discussion starts again.
Birdwatching on Curaçao in February
Of course the migration season is very interesting for watching bird species that would otherwise not be found on the island. Both the fall migration (mid August to Mid November) and the spring migration (mid April to mid June) are great for watching these unexpected species. However in all the other calendar months things can get interesting for sure, with some species from North America overwintering on the island, and South American and Caribbean species to suddenly appear and disappear.
