The Bananaquit

There are plenty of Bananaquits in Puerto Rico. The fact is, those Bananaquits are apparent everywhere I went. Maybe all Bananaquits require minimally is a palm tree or two and a row of shrubs between the hotel and the ocean. Yep. Just that for habitat and away those Banaquits go, fornicating to high heaven.

This Bananaquit stays behind the Hotel Candada or Pendecho and Casino which is actually a pretty good place to bird watch. Taking into account the beach front and lagoon front in the vicinity of the hotel, here’s what birds may be espied if an average ornithologist can drag itself away from the Mariachi Madness slot machine.

Magnificent Frigatebird, Brown Pelican, Least Tern, Royal Tern, Common Tern, Rock Dove, White-winged Dove, Zenaida Dove, Common Ground-Dove, Canary-winged Parakeet, hummingbird- big -either Green Mango or Green-Throated Carib, Gray Kingbird, Red-Legged Thrush, Caribbean Martin, Shiny Cowbird, Greater Antillean Grackle, Stripe-headed Tanager, Black-faced Grassquit and House Sparrow.

This Bananquit is stealing nectar, Quanica.
