	WETLANDS OUR PRECIOUS GIFT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		A coastal swamp and marsh is a delicately balanced system, dependent on the free flow of the tide and of the rivers and streams that feed it fresh water.
		Also found in the swamp are crab-eating racoons (procyon cancrivorus), many species of oppossum, including the wolly oppossu (cphilander trinitatis), silky anteaters (Cyclopes didactylus), snakes and of course the ever present and ready, spectacled caiman (Caiman sclerops).
		The Nariva Swamp is the last bastion for many forms of our wildlife, and travelling through it is a primitive experience that is both exhilarating and exciting, educational and satisfying.

	EXOTIC BIRDING tours - Description of birding in Caroni Swamp, Trinidad (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Caroni Swamp is located on the eastern coast of Trinidad not far south of the capital city Port-of-Spain.
		Caroni Swamp is a popular tourist destination, in part because large numbers of Scarlet Ibis roost there during non-breeding season with smaller numbers nesting there during breeding season.
		The preferred method of birding Caroni is to take a tour specially arranged for bird watching.

	CARONI SWAMP (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		For the problems that beset Caroni Swamp are a reflection of what is happening throughout Trinidad and Tobago: an ecological and tourism time-bomb born of mismanagement, misguided priorities, over-stretched resources, pollution, poaching, and public ignorance and indifference.
		He said it was built in the wrong place, too far into the swamp, on ground not solid enough - floors have collapsed, beams sunk and the roof has leaked - and though it is unnecessarily large it doesn't have enough capacity because of poor design.
		Specifically, he would like to see the Trust manage Caroni Swamp the way he feels it should be managed, the way Asa Wright manage their reserve.

		The Nariva, some 32 square miles of fresh-water herbaceous swamp, is Trinidad's largest marshland; some 10 miles long, it is about 5 miles at its greatest width.
		The eastern slopes of the Central Range drain into the swamp through several rivers, chief of which are the Navet (impounded near Tabaquite in 1959), Bois Neuf and Guatacara.
		This open area is succeeded by dense, deeply shaded swamp forest dominated by Morich Pa!ms and strongly buttressed Swamp Bloodwoods, a soft and luscious green festoon of aroids and other lianas through which the boat-Iine meanders until the high ground of Bush Bush island is reached.

	RECENT RECORDS OF BIRDS IN TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO
		Yellow-headed Cardcard (Milvago chimachima).--A bird was seen in the Nariva Swamp on 5 October 1960 (D. Snow), and another by R. ffrench in the Caroni Swamp on 31 May 1964.
		Picine Woodhewer (Xiphorhynchus picus).---Although previously considered to be ex- tremely rare, this species was seen and heard on numerous occasions in the centre of the Caroni Swamp from May to October 1964.
		It is more than likely that a similar concentration in swamps or forests would bring to light many other unusual occurrences, especially among migrant ducks and warblers from the North, and among raptors from the continent of South America.

		This time, however, the boatsman told us that the ibis had been so successful in their breeding that they'd spread out and were now roosting throughout the swamp instead of concentrating in a few mangrove islands.
		Within a few miles after we emerged from the area of swamp forest, and were greeted with a sweeping panorama of palm trees and sea.

		Ibises continue to feed and roost in the swamp outside of the breeding season, but during the breeding season, most adult ibises leave the island, presumably to nest in coastal South America (Bildstein 1990).
