Every year, hundreds to thousands of birds come to the island of Curaçao to produce their offspring. During the period from mid-March to well into late August, and sometimes even mid-September, various species of terns, gulls, and other bird species come to our island, as well as to Bonaire and Aruba, to search the coast for suitable breeding sites to raise their young.

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.
