West Indian Whistling-Duck
Dendrocygna arborea
A distinctive large waterbird between the size of a large duck and a goose. Nocturnal; roosts during day in mangroves, wooded ponds and marshes and feeds primarily at night. Generally scarce and typically somewhat secretive, particularly where hunting of this species is allowed. Call is loud shrill whistle: “pip-pip-pip-weeeeeaaaa” usually given when agitated or in flight. Similar Fulvous Whistling-Duck is brighter with streaked, not spotted, flanks.

Small, short-billed woodpecker with an olive-green back, a yellow nape, and a gray face. Heavily barred below and on the tail. Males have a red crown, green in females. Found in humid forests, forest edges, and second growth.
Chestnut-winged Hookbill
Ancistrops strigilatus
Streaky canopy foliage-gleaner with a slightly hooked bill tip. Light buffy brown overall with extensive streaking from the head down to the back and breast, with reddish wings and tail. Forages in the midstory and canopy with mixed species flocks, keeping its body horizontal as it clambers along branches.
