The Dawn chorus in Curacao, in the southern Caribbean Sea

Breakfast

Available for over a year

Be transported to the outskirts of a small village in eastern Curacao, in the southern Caribbean Sea. This dawn chorus features the calls of bananaquits, eared doves, bare-eyed pigeons, yellow orioles, brown-throated parakeets, tropical mockingbirds and Venezuelan troupials. Listen closely: can you hear the faint sound of dogs barking and cocks crowing in the distance?
