Endemic bird of the day : Golden Swallow

Abstract

Caribbean Endemic Bird Festival (CEBF) day 31 poster, dedicated to the Golden Swalow. If you ever get the chance to go birding in the mountains of the Dominican Republic (DR) or Haiti, you’ll want to add Golden Swallows to your list of birds to see. It’s not uncommon for people to spend hours watching these amazing birds fly around open meadows where they feed. They twist, turn, and dive through the air with incredible grace and precision as they hunt for airborne insects—their primary food source. These little aerial acrobats weigh only 13 grams—the same as a AAA battery—which allows them to maintain flight for a long time with limited effort! As a complement to the poster, a coloring sheet is included.
