Cuban Endemic Birds – Part 1

Over 372 species of birds have been recorded in Cuba. Amongst these are 26 endemics found nowhere else in the world and include iconic birds like the Cuban Tody, Cuban Trogon and the smallest bird in the hole world, The Bee Hummingbird. About 150 species are resident on the island, some are wanderers that only occasionally reach Cuba and the remainder are regular migrants from North America that travel south to escape the harsh winters further north. Many of these winter in Cuba itself while others are seen mainly on spring and autumn migration from wintering grounds in South America..
