The Scarlet Ibis - Trinidad's national bird
This afternoon Takiyah took Kadie and me to the Caroni Swamp sanctuary where we took a flat bottomed boat through the mangrove swamps of the Caroni River delta. We didn't see any caimans (alligators) but we saw tree snakes and lots of birds. We moored the boat just before dusk and within a few minutes hundred of these amazing birds came back to their roosting spot on an island in the river. It was difficult to get good photos at dusk so I got this one off the web to give you an experience of the sight.
