Cuba is the largest country in the Caribbean and accounts for over half of all the land area in the West Indies. Cuban bird life is diverse: over 372 species have been recorded in Cuba with 26 endemic species among them the charming Cuban Tody, the striking and Elegant Cuban Trogon, and the smallest of all birds in the world, the Bee Hummingbird. Arturo Kirkconnell is the bird curator at the National Museum of Natural History of Cuba. He is author of two books: A Field Guide to the Birds of Cuba, and A Birdwatchers' Guide to Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico and the Caymans and has been leading birding tours in his native Cuba since 1988.
