Ticking Cuban Warblers for me: Clean up Caribbeans, clean up Neotropics, clean up non-monotype. The 2 members of Cuban Warblers have different distributions. Yellow-headed Warbler can be seen on the west third of Cuba, while Oriente Warbler seen on the north beach from the mid-third and to the east. Both responsive for playback and easy to be found. Our trip included all endemics and a few near-endemics.
