Hi,
Will be there and looking into logistics. I’m thinking will be some migrants passing through, but mostly looking for the endemics. I have “Birds of the Dominican Republic and Haiti”, and “Ruta Barrancoli: a Bird Finding Guide to the Dominican Republic”.
What are everyone’s thoughts on good hotspots?
What is the consensus on self guided travel (local)? Thinking of renting a motorcycle for a day or two to get into some back country areas. Will take the usual precautions of dressing WAY down and keeping my stuff in a ratty looking daypack. I like the idea of a bike because (as an experienced off road biker) I could get away from anyone trying to accost me much more easily, and I could get to far more places. Plus, motorcycle rentals are stupid cheap.
Planning to look for forest and wading species, plus a family excursion out to Soana Island (pelagics).
Thanks!
