St. Martin
St. Martin/Sint Maarten is an island in the Caribbean shared by a French (St. Martin) and Dutch (Sint Maarten) dependencies. It is located in the Lesser Antilles, also known as the Leeward Islands or French West Indies.It is a lovely island for a holiday with many wonderful beaches.
One of my favorite places on the island was the Butterfly Farm. I had expected this to be a sad little tourist trap but it turned out to be a well run operation with a wonderful assortment of tropical butterflies and flowering plants. Well worth a few hours, especially to a photographer.

The island has only a few species of birds, but they are an interesting group. I found the following 28 species during our seven day holiday.
