The Piping Guan: A Rare and Endangered Bird

 

Trinidad Piping Guan


We are now staying on the north shore of the island of Trinidad, around 3 hours drive from the airport, where we stayed last night. Our reason for coming here is to see the Trinidad Piping Guan, a rare and endangered bird. The 500-600 surviving members of this endemic species live in the northern part of the island, and nowhere else. Happily, we found several of the birds feeding in some fruit trees at a location close to our hotel. Obviously, our excellent guides knew exactly where to find them!
