The Case for Adding the U.S. Territories in the Caribbean to the ABA Area

I recently asked whether Puerto Rico should be part of the American Birding Association’s ABA Area. I will suggest an answer to the question: this post makes the argument that both Puerto Rico and the U.S. Now that Hawaii is in the ABA Area , the next additions should be Puerto Rico and the U.S.

Way back in January Mike and I made a quick trip to Puerto Rico with the hope of cleaning up on all of the endemic species on the island. We needed to see a parrot on the one evening we had left, 17 January, and failure was not an option. How about some pictures of parrots? Our vigil began. And waited. And waited.
