Once again as always say we don’t do extensive birding in south Trinidad. Thanks to Kris that is now different. Look for instance there is rumour from people who I converse with that in Los Blanquizales there is some resident birds & animals you dnt see elsewhere in Trinidad or Tobago. Like the Red & Green Macaw, Scarlet Macaw, Orinoco Croc, Capybara etc. Anyways sometimes I say these animals better stay in secret before there are wipe out.

I have never seen or heard a Motmot in Cat’s Hill or Edward’s Trace and I always wondered if there were any around so it’s good to hear that they are present in the area. Last year I saw one along the Southern Main Road just before Los Blanquizales so they are present in the Cedros/Chatam Forest Reserve as well.

Yep, i spent about 4 weeks near/ just east of the northern part of the trinity hills wildlife sanctuary and on most days you could hear the bellbirds. This was in Feb/March, 2011. Did not sound as plentiful as they do up north, and no one was able to see them through the towering canopy. Also, ever heard of a Motmot as far south as on the Trail to Caniri Bay? That was also a wonderful find for us, especially so as the land was generally flat, as opposed to the hilly areas that i know em from in TT.

wow a bellbird & a ornate hawk-eagle in the south land. i’ve been saying this for the last few years to people that we don’t do extensive birding down south because north people say its to far to go south. hey man good work. i appreciate what you do & look forward for your trip reports. i support you 100%.
