Birding in the Bahamas: Endemic Birds & Coral Reefs
The Bahamas, merely saying the name evokes imagines of sandy beaches, sunsets over crystal clear waters, the lilting rhythms of calypso and reggae and the taste of tropical fruit and rum punch! These dazzling islands, sprinkled across 100,000 square miles of turquoise ocean, are justifiably famous for their casinos and all-inclusive resorts, but beyond this glitz and glamour lies a hidden Bahamas – a seldom seen Bahamas with forests rich in birdlife and coral reefs teaming with fish and marine invertebrates. This special ecotourism trip will explore some of the more remote areas of the Bahamas and will find us searching for the islands’ wildlife.
Although this will be a natural history trip, we will focus on finding as much of the Bahamas’ endemic birdlife as possible! We will concentrate our efforts on three islands, Abaco, New Providence and Andros. Abaco and Andros are “Out Islands” with many specialized habitats and an abundance of wildlife. Despite being the most populous island, New Providence has a surprising number of bird species. EcoQuest Travel is proud to invite you to join us as we explore the many habitats that make the Bahamas such a special place to visit! Come with us on this adventure as we search for endemic birds, snorkel the coral reefs and help in the continuing conservation efforts that are so vital to the Bahamas’ future!
