Birding in Aruba, Caribbean, by Antonio Silveira
BIRDING IN ARUBA, CARIBBEAN

Brazilian Birdwatcher

Between 11 and 21 November 2010; 7 to 23 June; 13 to 27 November 2011, and 13 to 17
and 21 to 31 May 2012, 11 to 25 November 2012, May and November 2013 and May 12 to 29
of 2014 we were (Antonio Silveira) in the Caribbean island of Aruba, where we had the
opportunity to make some observations of fauna, especially its birds (birding or Birdwatching).
According of tourism folders Aruba in the Caribbean Sea situated about 24 km offshore
Venezuela has 182 km2 and is 31.36 km long by 9.6 km wide. The highest point is Mount
Jamanota with 185 m / al (or 617 feet).
Its capital is Oranjestad, a charming town that closely resembles the Netherlands, which is
not least being that because Aruba is part of Dutch territory, although the degree of autonomy
achieved long ago.
Despite being one of Aruba’s most popular resorts in the world and one of the best diving
destinations, with its large hotel chain, also has natural areas represented mainly by the Arikok
National Park and Bubali Bird Sanctuary.
Interestingly, natural areas and even in altered areas met the Divi-divi (Caesalpinia cori),
photo below, whose distribution extends from the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America
and northern South America, but they are very famous and somewhat protected in island.

Aruba has about 70 species of birds residents and many species migrants. The rarest bird
of the island is the chicken of water-Fulica caribaea (Caribbean Coot), with only about 100
individuals in the wetlands of the island, which we were lucky to see one. And Athene
cunicularia arubensis (Burrowing Owl), endemic and one of most known and protected bird
of the island.
Arikok National Park created in 2000 is administered by a foundation, has 20 miles of trails
and protect natural areas and arid part of the island and its coast, with caves and natural
swimming pools (http://www.arubanationalpark.org/). But the Bubali Bird Sanctuary protects
one of the main wetlands of the Caribbean, including a site is RAMSAR CONVENTION.
But there are other flooded areas, especially in Palm Beach, home to major hotels and
easy to be visited, as are adjacent to the coastal road that passes behind the hotels. In our
stay in this beautiful island, we made these observations in the flooded areas, areas of hotels
and visit Sancturay Bubali Bird, where he delighted in the beauty of the place.
The Bubali Plas, as is known, is a public reserve, formed by a complex of interconnected
lakes and wetlands, providing an important refuge for wildlife, especially under water good to
Fish-watching (Fish-watching in Aruba). On site there is a viewpoint of about 6 feet tall, which
allows the observer to be comfortably protected from the sun and with a fantastic view of
much of the area.
There are dozens of species living on the island and many migrants use their lakes and
wetlands to rest and feed.
Following is a list of 80 species of birds, in alphabetical order, observed and identified in
our visits in Aruba with annotations of sites:
Legend:
APB - flooding (wetland)of Palm Beach.

Besides the birds we have seen some lizards, including the Iguana, common in natural
areas of
hotels, Aruba Blue lizard(Cnemidophorus arubensis), endemic
to
the island, but
common in almost all places and frogs (Pleurodema brachyops) as the photos below.
On 23/11/2011, we heard the night in a temporary pond in the Palm Beach region of the
vocalizations of Bufo marinus (GiantToad), recently introduced on the island.
Faced
with what
we
saw and
found so
far,
Aruba is
very interesting
in
terms
of ornithological what motivates us to go back to learn more about their birds.
We thank company of my wife Gianine Luiza
