Some Notes regarding Birds listed above:

104: The Dunlin has probably been observed only rarely in the Dominican Republic (if at all). The book "A Guide to the Birds of the West Indies" indicates no sightings, although it notes some records to the west in Cuba and to the east in Puerto Rico. 2 birds were seen during our tour on December 28, 1998 at Salinas, along the southern DR coast west of Santo Domingo.

149: Jamaican Parakeets  (formerly Olive-throated Parakeets) were first found during our July '95 Dominican Republic tour, with a substantial number (15-20), in a wild, remote area in the western part of the country, at mid-elevation in the Baoruco Mountains. Also during that tour, 1 was found in a flock of Hispaniolan Conures/Parakeets in the city of Santo Domingo. 
During nearly all of our tours subsequent to 1995 in the Baoruco Mountains, the Jamaican Conure/Parakeet has been seen in that area.
