jonesmunoz Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I was in Labadee, Haiti on May 31 and saw a large heron looking bird soaring overhead. It had a black body and wings with white neck and head, like a White-necked Heron. However from my research it doesn’t appear that bird is found in the Caribbean. Unfortunately no pics as I wasn’t traveling with my camera, only binoculars. Any suggestions on what it might have been? Another bird I saw and am having a hard time identifying was small, sparrow size or slightly bigger. It had a black head with a white spot on it, and yellow back and breast, but not a real bright yellow. Ideas? Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdbrain22 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 For your soaring bird... take a look at Juvenile Magnificent Frigatebird. For the smaller bird... possibly Village Weaver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesmunoz Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 Yes, the Magnificent Frigatebird is what I saw? I wonder why when I do a bird ID on the Merlin Bird ID app it doesn’t offer that bird as a solution. If I type in the name it comes up. I’ve had that happen a couple of times now. Second bird is is not the Weaver. I might have to give up on that one. Thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
