 Allow me to introduce you to the dazzling island of Barbados my home country where I was born and grew up, Barbados is an island of contrasts - a place where you see palm-fringed coasts next to turquoise waters or the white rollers of the Atlantic. Made mostly of sedimentary rock, coral, and chalk, the island evolved over 70 million years. However, geologically, the island, amazingly, is considered a baby - it was forced from beneath the sea about one million years ago. Today, coral reefs surround most of the tropical paradise. One thing you’ll notice about the island is its mangrove trees. In fact, you'll see white mangroves all around the island. The leaves of these trees often have salt granules visible on them from the plant's secretions. The Graeme Hall Swamp is the only place on the island where you’ll find red mangrove trees. There are no seeds in the mangroves. While tied to the parent tree, the arrow-shaped seedlings fall off and establish roots somewhere else. Typically, mangroves are found growing in muddy, unstable water. This results in extensive root systems both above and below the surface. For the most part, older trees have spectacular buttress roots that extend out of the ground or into bodies of water as they support roots that sprout from the branches above. If you love birding, you will love Barbados. Its varied species of birds make it a delightful destination. Doves, tanagers, kingbirds, egrets, yellow-breasted cowbirds, parakeets, finches, thrushes, warblers, grackles, plovers, and owls are just a few of the many bird species found in the area. The curve-billed emerald throat hummer and straight-billed Antillean crested hummer are the island’s two species of hummingbirds. The male doctor bird, with its blue-green crest, is fiercely territorial, despite its small size. With a bright red patch on its beak, the sugar bird, also known as a yellow-breasted bananaquit, may be identified as the yellow bird featured in a popular calypso of the same name. North American wood sandpipers, ruffs, Greenland wheatears, and black-headed gulls are among the winter visitors. It is common to observe brown pelicans soaring through the air before crashing into the ocean to catch fish. Terns, sandpipers, and the spectacular long-winged black frigate are found on Barbados as well. The island is also home to thousands of coconut palms. Beware of the sound of the “whoosh” of a descending coconut, as it may land squarely on your head. When visiting the island, it’s probably a good idea not to picnic in a coconut grove. While injuries from falling coconuts are not a regular thing, it is good to keep this in mind, especially on a windy day. I know you’re going to love Barbados just as much as I love it.
