(First of three) These Cuban Parrots or Rose-throated Parrots, Amazona leucocephala, were engaging in either courtship or aggresive behavior. Our Cuban ornithologist guide had mentioned that these birds were being seen in the evening on the grounds of the Hotel Horizontes where we were staying at Playa Larga in the Bay of Pigs area. I was able to watch them come in to feed on two evenings.
Also called Cuban Parrots or Cuban Amazons, they are West Indian endemics that have been considered near threatened but their numbers are increasing as the result of conservation measures.

This Cuban Pygmy Owl, Glaucidium siju, was in a cavity in a palm tree. It is an endemic Cuban species, common throughout the mainland and some of the offshore islands and cays. We saw two flying during the day and being harassed by songbirds in addition to this one in a day roost.
On a 10-day birding and cultural tour of Cuba through Holbrook Travel we were able to see all but 3 of the endemic birds of the island.
