January 5-13, 1996 - by Bill Murphy.  In 1995 the American Birding Association contacted me to offer me an opportunity to serve as their representative on a Clipper Cruise Line voyage through the southern Caribbean in January 1996. The tour itinerary included the Netherlands Antilles islands of Curacao and Bonaire, coastal Venezuela, Tobago, the Orinoco River, and Trinidad -- 1200 sea miles in all. 

"What woodland remains is mostly protected on the slopes of the hills within Savonet National Park, in the northwest of the island. Good birds include Scaly-naped Pigeon and Rudy-topaz Hummingbird. Magnificent Frigatebirds occur at Saint Anna Bay near Willemstadt. Coastal mudflats and salt pans, mostly along the south coast and support breeding herons and attract wintering shorebirds." - from Where to Watch Birds in South America - by Nigel Wheatley.
