Cuban tody and doves

This photo shows a Cuban tody. We saw this beautiful colourful small bird, endemic to Cuba, on 12 March 2017 in a bush on Cayo Coco island; close to where we had seen the Cuban emerald hummingbirds.

A greater Antillean grackle and a grey catbird were present as well.

On the other side of the parking lot were doves. Like zenaida doves. And this common ground dove.

And this Key West quail dove.

Stay tuned for more Cuban birds on this blog!
