Cuba’s Northern Archipelago and Cayo Coco
Cuba’s Northern Archipelago, Cayo Coco and surrounding keys provide excellent birding opportunities on Cuba’s sunny Atlantic coast. These previously uninhabited and relatively unexplored offshore islands were connected to the mainland by an 18+-mile causeway completed in 1989. Cuba’s Academy of Sciences (CITMA) maintains a research facility here.
The Cayo Coco region provides unique opportunities for: Cuban Gnatcatcher, Oriente Warbler, Thick-billed Vireo, Bahama Mockingbird, West Indian Whistling Duck, as well as numerous shorebirds and aquatic birds. This area provides additional opportunities to see rare endemics such as the Zapata Sparrow (a local race) and Gundlach’s Hawk.
