We saw Palmchats often, sometimes whole flocks of Palmchats flew over our heads. Once, thanks to such a flight, accidentally, it was possible to record the sound of a herd of Palmchat. Although there were many observations of Palmchats and they are a common species in the Dominican Republic, they were not entice, they were very shy and all the photos were taken during other photo sessions of the case.

A beautiful duck, usually seen in pairs. There is a clear sexual dimorphism. Following the example of medieval nomenclature, the female has a white plumage of the head. And why is it the model of the Middle Ages, because women were said to be white-headed. The female has a snow-white head. The plumage of the male is colorful but not so bright. The Paradise Shelduck can weigh up to 2 kilograms. I saw them in quite large flocks, that could be certainly counted in dozens, if not more.

Unfortunately parasitic jaegers were not as easy to photograph as the other species. I have seen them several times from a quite significant distance as they were trying to get food over meadows where oystercatchers and redshanks nested. From a distance I could see concerned parents collectively repelling the aggressor’s attack. The parasitic jeager nests on the ground. Its weight is below 400 grams, with a wingspan of about 1.2 meters.
