Trip report from Andro's Island Bahamas
From February 20-23, 1999.
On a recent trip to Andro's Island in the Bahama's with myself and Bruce
Purdy we had 76 species. This included most of the specialties, we
missed Zenaida Dove, Key West Quail Dove and West Indian-Whistling Duck.
The Key West Quail Dove and West Indian-Whistling Duck will always be hard
to find. The Zenaida Dove we should have seen, we tried hard for
this species without success.
