    This bird is not indigeneous to dominica, it is a black crow this picture was taken in any city in america we call them sky cakroches, they are scaffengers eat any thing ,overturn your trash cans . and spread diseases.

      Where was it said that the bird was indigenous to Dominica? If you put your bird brain to more use then you would be able to spell cockroach and scavengers and even learn some english so you could know where a punctuation mark goes and where you need a capital letter. It just hurts me when some people just want to be negative. It is just a picture for crying out loud.

      And for that matter, dominican abroad, if you had any speck of intelligence you would know that birds migrate, and when they do, they go to places they are not native to. Sometimes along the route they stop to rest, for a few days or even a few weeks. So while you’re ‘abroad’ why not try to broaden your horizons, and learn something new, rather than trying to be negative.

    Thats a nice shot of a “bird” but what does this photo tell us viewers about Dominica, and who knows that photo may not have been captured in D/ca. Come on Elton, I know you can do better than that.

    • Eh bien

      Wow, it is the usual case of attacking the messenger, in this case though it is the photographer, not the messenger. Can you do better? Then come on and show us what you are capable of doing.
      Why are we so negative in this country? Heaven help us all. Unity will come, by the grace of the Almighty, on the final day. God does not sleep.
