Caribbean martins (Progne dominicensis) on overhead wires, Pigeon Point, Tobago
This species has a limited range, breeding only on the islands of the Antilles, from Jamaica to Tobago. It does not breed on Trinidad. Does this spring gathering on the wires mean that the birds are about to make a limited journey northwards to another island where they will breed?
Separated from the superficially similar blue-and-white swallow (Tachycineta alibiventer) by its dark throat and rump.
