John, Mary, and Margarete Kormendy -- Trinidad & Tobago 2007/2008

Trinidad & Tobago map showing the lodges where we stayed and some of the birding sites where we went (e. g., Caroni Swamp, on the west coast of Trinidad).

Asa Wright Nature Center, surely one of the most gracious birding sites we have ever visited.
