| Dunlin (Calidris alpina) (1) - Reported September 26, 2024 16:05 by Susan Davis and Martijn Hickmann - Kaminda Lac Wetlands, Bonaire - Comments: " Details This observation of a Dunlin is at the same location as a prior recent sighting on August 2, 2024. Black legs; entirely black bill, slightly decurved with a thick (black) base and a droop at the tip. The underwings were mostly white with some dark mottling along the leading edge and a narrow dark band along the trailing edge. Since the shorebird was foraging in the company of a several peeps, the overall size could be readily discerned to be bigger than a peep, with a hunched stance. The Dunlin foraged using a probing technique, with an up-and-down movement--sewing machine style--submerging the entire bill, and even the face, in relatively deep water in order to forage."  |
| American Redstart (Setophaga ruticilla) (2) - Reported September 25, 2024 11:54 by Susan Davis - Washington Slagbaai NP--Pos Mangel - Comments: "One male, one female"  |

I got an excellent view of the bird through binoculars, so I was able to identify field marks. Unfortunately, nearby human activity in the area caused the bird to fly before I could get my camera on it. The female displayed an exceedingly bright yellow throat and breast. The belly was lighter, and then the undertail coverts were yellow. There was a thin white eye-ring. The bill and legs were pinkish. The face and upper parts were a grayish brown." |

| Dunlin (Calidris alpina) (1) - Reported August 2, 2024 15:36 by Susan Davis - Kaminda Lac Wetlands, Bonaire - Comments: "This identification of a Dunlin is primarily based upon the overall size of the bird, the color and shape of the bill, and the length of the wingtips. Observed field marks: Black legs; entirely black bill, slightly decurved with a thick (black) base and a droop at the tip; the wingtips extended nearly to the end of the tail, but they did not exceed the tail in length. The underwings were mostly white with some dark mottling along the leading edge and a narrow dark band along the trailing edge (see images). Since the shorebird was foraging in the company of a Least Sandpiper (see images), the overall size could be readily discerned to be bigger than a peep, a bit plump, with a hunched stance. Foraging: Probing using an up-and-down movement--sewing machine style (video available). Vocalizations: It vocalized once with a raspy “kree” call. Exclusions of similar species: Other species with long, black bills were considered, but excluded. Since the bird was larger than a peep, the Western Sandpiper was excluded as a possibility. Another similar species could be the White-rumped Sandpiper. However, in this species, the wingtips would extend beyond the tail, but in the bird under observation, the wingtips extended almost to the tail, but not beyond. Further, the bill was much longer than would be observed on a White-rumped Sandpiper, and the reddish area normally seen at the base of the bill was not in evidence. Other substantiating data: It would be unusual to see a Dunlin on Bonaire at any time of the year, given that they normally only travel as far south as the southern USA or Mexico. However, it's even more unusual to observe a Dunlin on Bonaire in early August, given that it is normally a late-fall migrant. However, according to Birds of Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao (Wells, Childs Wells), J. Ligon reported a Dunlin in basic plumage on August 31, 2003. Two other sightings, also reporting basic plumage, were observed on June 4, 1985. A search of the eBird database indicates that there is one prior confirmed sighting on Bonaire on September 25, 2016, observed by the BirdsCaribbean team."  |

Upperparts were speckled and barred with dark brown; underparts buffy with fine streaking on the neck and upper breast; legs long and dark; wingtips extended to about the end of the tail.

I waited for some time for it to return, but it did not. I did, however, hear it vocalizing in the nearby foliage." |

| Chivi Vireo (Vireo chivi) (1) - Reported Jan 22, 2022 08:55 by Susan Davis - Washington Slagbaai NP--Pos Mangel, Bonaire - Comments: "I believe this to be a Chivi Vireo. It was observed in the exact location as a prior confirmed sighting on January 7, 2022. This bird visited the pos (watering hole) twice, both times in the company of at least one Black-whiskered Vireo. It did not vocalize as it was busy drinking. I am basing this identification upon the length of the primary feathers. It appears to me that the outermost primary feather is shorter than the fifth or sixth, which would indicate a Chivi Vireo versus the similar Red-eyed Vireo. I am very open to assistance from those with more experience."  |
