In addition to American Herpetologist Jeff Lemm and Dr Luis Diaz, Curator of Herpetology at Cuba’s National Museum of Natural History, our team will include a bilingual Cuban tour leader and local naturalists who are experts in their respective geographic regions of Cuba.

Fall Migration Cuba Bird Survey 2018 to Cuba’s Western Mountains, Zapata Peninsula, Northern Archipelago, Escambray Valley and Havana

April 2018, Dec 2018 & Feb 2019
While there will be daily opportunities for birding on this trip, our focus expands to include a range of Cuban fauna and flora, and the ecology and history of regions we visit. At different intervals throughout the program we will hear from Cuban experts about the natural relationship of Cuban species of birds, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, as well as arachnids (spiders) and insects and other invertebrates such as mollusks and butterflies. We will enjoy opportunities to swim and snorkel as well, and encounter some of Cuba’s interesting marine life in a safe, natural habitat.
