The Lesser Antilles are long series of islands extending north to south between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. For birders, these islands hold some truly superlative species including more than thirty Lesser Antilles endemics and forty-five Caribbean specialties. On this "Every Endemic" birding tour, we target them all and sample the diverse nature and culture of the Lesser Antilles. Using a combination of air and sea, we'll travel to each island in search of the avian specialties to be found on these 10 magical islands: Antigua, Barbados, Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Montserrat, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent.

Each of the stunningly beautiful Caribbean islands of the Lesser Antilles is separated by sparkling turquoise seas and has rich wetlands, open grasslands, dynamic coastlines and lush tropical rainforests. These diverse and varied habitats are home to a lengthy list of highly-threatened, single-island endemics and near endemics, along with a host of indigenous regional specialities unique to the southern Caribbean.

We’ll target stunning and many critically endangered single-island endemics and range-restricted regional endemics such as the Whistling Warbler in St. Vincent; the majestic Imperial Amazon in Dominica; the dazzling Purple-throated Carib (Above photo: Mark Greenfield) and bemusing Grey Trembler on St. Lucia; the flame-breasted Montserrat Oriole on the “Other Emerald Isle”; the lovely endemic Martinique Oriole (Photo: Beatrice Henricot); and rarest of them all, the gentle, unassuming Grenada Dove, still found serenely walking the pathways in the only area of suitable habitat remaining on the “Spice Isle” of Grenada.

Nature abounds on the islands and we’ll enjoy butterflies, lizards, lush tropical plants and experience a range of Caribbean flora and fauna. We also have the potential for encounters with whales, dolphins,and marine turtles while crossing the crystal clear waters between islands. And, we’ll do all this while traveling to some of the most sought-after holiday destinations on the planet.

This truly is an epic and truly unique birding adventure tailor-made for our group. It is sure to yield spectacular sightings and leave you with long-lasting memories. The fact that this region has long remained off the birding map means that there is continuing discussion about numerous species splits. Now being researched and/or proposed for future classification, the birds you see on this trip have the potential to keep on giving for years to come!
