Alexander Wetmore - Photo Album, Bonaire and Curacao, Netherlands Antilles, 1969
About the Project
The Bonaire Islands are famous for one particular type of bird--the Caribbean flamingo. The Islands are one of only four nesting grounds for the species. What other birds make their home on the island's shores? Find out with ornithologist and former Smithsonian Secretary Alexander Wetmore's 1969 photo album. Wetmore traveled to the Netherlands Antilles with his wife, Beatrice, and studied the islands' coastlines and interiors (including photographing cave drawings!). Find a few flamingos in this fascinating album and help transcribe image captions!
