Welcome to the Southeastern Caribbean Birds Photo Gallery. Sponsored by the Trinidad and Tobago Field Naturalists' Club in association with the Southeastern Caribbean Bird Alert and the Trinidad and Tobago Rare Bird Committee, the purpose of this gallery is to archive documentary photographs representing significant distriubtional records of rare birds in the southeastern Caribbean region (Virgin Islands, Lesser Antilles, Trinidad and Tobago) and to provide further information on identification of the region's birds. It is not intended to provide photographs of all species occurring within the region. The taxonomy follows the American Ornithologists' Union's Check-list of North American Birds, 7th edition (1998). We invite birders and ornithologists to submit their photographs to us for presentation in the gallery. Please note that ALL photographs are copyrighted by the photographer and may not be used without the written consent of the photographer, who may be contacted at the addresses provided in the link below. To submit photographs, suggestions, opinions, corrections or queries, please contact the website manager at the bottom of this page.
