The Hispaniolan Emerald, a vibrant and enchanting bird known scientifically as Chlorostilbon swainsonii, captivates with its iridescent green feathers. Found in the Bahoruco Mountains National Park, this magnificent creature perches gracefully on vines, showcasing its beauty. In the Botanical Gardens of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, the Mangrove Cuckoo (Coccyzus minor) can be spotted. With its distinctive call echoing through the air, this adult cuckoo sits majestically on a branch, exuding an aura of tranquility. Journeying to Pedernales Province reveals another aspect of Hispaniola's diversity - bauxite aluminum ore opencast mines. Along Alcoa Road, trucks transport this valuable resource from the mines to Cabo Rojo port for exportation. Witnessing these massive operations showcases both the industrial progress and natural wealth of the region. However, amidst such development lies hope for regeneration. In exhausted bauxite mining areas like Pedernales Province, habitat restoration efforts are underway. Gradually recolonizing pine saplings and vegetation breathe new life into once barren landscapes. Venturing further into Hispaniola's diverse terrain brings us to karst landscapes adorned with lush valleys and depressions where cattle herds graze under watchful ranchers on horseback. This harmonious coexistence between humans and nature paints a picturesque scene that epitomizes sustainable living. Exploring Jaragua National Park unravels more avian wonders like the Stolid Flycatcher (Myiarchus stolidus dominicensis). Perched delicately on a twig against breathtaking vistas, it represents nature's delicate balance in preserving biodiversity within protected areas. As seasons change in Jaragua N. P. , we encounter an immature female Black-throated Green Warbler (Dendroica virens) donning its first winter plumage.
