(equals $29 USD or 28 Euros) Birdwatching Opportunities on the property of Caapi Cottage: Often, in the late afternoon, a small flock of red-necked parrots make their way noisily up into the hills behind the property. Three of the Caribbean hummingbirds can be seen almost every day – the Antillean crested humming bird, and purple throated and green-throated Caribs with their long downward curving bills, both of which show brilliant colours in the sunlight. The Trembler, scaly breasted and white breasted Thrashers are always fun to spot. The Mangrove Cuckoo sometimes nests nearby; its distinctive call and striking banded long tail make this bird a lovely sighting. On nearby trails the Rufous-throated solitaire can be heard with it’s long melancholy notes, and can be difficult to spot.
