Report on survey for ESS in Tobago

The White-tailed Sabrewing Hummingbird is listed locally as an Environmentally Sensitive Species (ESS) and is globally near threatened.  The bird has been recorded at two locations in Venezuela and also in the Mian Ridge Forest Reserve, Tobago.  Over the three month period December 2018 - February 2019, a survey on the presence and distribution of the bird was done in the Main Ridge Forest Reserve with the assistance of data loggers and tour guides.  The information gathered makes a key contribution to the development of  a management plan for the Main Ridge Forest Reserve, a key deliverable of the "Improving Forest and Protected Area Management in Trinidad and Tobago" project.  The report is available at this link.
