Cuba birds, March 23, 2016

On Wednesday, March 23, 2016, we birded Cayo Paredon Grande, the NE-most key from Cayo Coco, and found the Cuban Gnatcatcher, Oriente Warbler, Bahama Mockingbird and Thick-billed Vireo among others. In the afternoon, we saw the Mangrove Cuckoo and a variety of shorebirds around Cayo Guillermo.
