Caiman Courts

Imgp4396 Yesterday I had the joy of a catch and release a small Spectacled Caiman that had found itself in someone's yard.  It was only about one and a half feet long, so he was quite easy to handle.  We released him in the wetlands at the southern part of Tucker Valley, Chaguaramas.

Caroni Kayaking

Hi All,

Well I have neglected my blogs for sometime now, this was due to my starting a new TV Show called Earth Alert, which airs on WIN TV during the news Monday to Friday.  It has been very exciting and a lot of fun.

Imgp4362I also have added a new kayaking tour of the Caroni Swamp that is tremendous fun.  I use the quads and before I started in Cacandee I now start on a smaller tributary and access the main Caroni area through very narrow passages that are fun to navigate.  I saw my first Boatbilled Heron in there and I have not seen those for about 3 years.  I am also exploring other areas on the caroni so that clients get to have a real fund trip and avoind the areas used by motorized boats.

The rainy season is in full swing with daily heavy rains so everything is muddy. Imgp4038

The budget came the other day with nothing new or siginificant for conservation or ecotourism, no suprise there, same crap different day.  I am gearing up for trips in September to Guyana, the Mojave Desert, Seattle and Whistler, so look for postings on that.
