      listening to papers in a conference room, I did get in some interesting birding. Aruba is a fascinating island.

    "Try birding the remnants of the thorny woodlands in the southeastern hills. Good birds include Ruby-Topaz Hummingbirds (found in relatively well-vegetated dry riverbeds) and the Caribbean Elaenia. There is an important tern colony on the off-shore islands near San Nicholas, Aruba. The fish ponds behind the tourist complex at Bubali attract herons, shorebirds and terns." - from Where to Watch Birds in South America - by Nigel Wheatley.
