    Dark Bananaquit

    This is the second place I see the dark version of Bananaquit. The first was in St. Vincent where I remember them as blacker. There is a photo here in BF of a bird from Venezuela, which seems a little paler brown. The dark version was considerably more common in Grenada than the regular...

    Atlantic Mangrove Fiddler Crab

    Identification is based on a website which listed 6 species of Fiddler Crabs for Grenada, and this species was the best match according to the photos there.

  14. Yellow-bellied Elaenia

    Yellow-bellied Elaenia

    For this image, I was going back and forth between this species and the Caribbean counterpart. I ended on Yellow-bellied because the field guide writes that "in the area of overlap with CaEl, the Yellow-bellied has the larger crest". Belly color seems very variable in both based both on my own...

    Boobies in Grenada

    On location, I estimated at least 10 times more Red-footed than Brown Booby, and with a few Magnificent Frigatebird mixed in. The red-footed were mostly dark with white tail and a few were mostly white. I could not find any Masked Boobies, they would have differed in being white birds with black...

    Grenada Tanager

    The bird was truly holding its head downwards most of the time I saw it, including in this photo. Current taxonomy has this one as Lesser Antillean Tanager, but it is split by the newest field guide.
