------------------------------------------- Edward led the May 5th-20th, 2011 Cheesemans' Ecology Safaris
tour to Trinidad and Tobago, the country of his birth. The 2 week nature tour was a great success. The weather was mostly sunny, the group saw all their interesting
and beautiful target birds including the Piping Guan, Red-billed Tropicbird, Bearded Bellbird, Oilbirds, Scarlet Ibis, Pinnated
Bittern and Red-bellied Macaw.There were hundreds of Leatherback turtles nesting at Grand Riviere, but it was a treat to see
them in the light of a full moon.
