A Guyana Surprise

Guyana is a tropical wonderland, as Gavin Bieber‘s 2010 tour to that South American country will confirm.

But it’s not all fancy tanagers and cocks-of-the-rock.

On February 17, Ron and Lincoln Allicock discovered this Black-legged Kittiwake near Bartica. A first for the country, the bird later died and has been preserved as a skin in the collections of the University of Guyana.

We probably can’t promise an Arctic vagrant of this magnitude, but we can promise lots of birds and a good time on Gavin’s new tour. Join us!
