Geocache Description:

This cache is not at the above listed coordinates!



THE BIRD

The bananaquit is a species of passerine bird of uncertain relation. It is tentatively placed in the tanager family, but classified as incertae sedis by other authorities such as the American Ornithologists Union. Its classification is debated, and it is often placed in its own family: Coerebidae. It has recently been suggested the bananaquit should be split into three species, but this has yet to receive widespread recognition. This small, active nectarivore is found in warmer parts of the Americas, and is generally common.

THE CACHE



Curacao Geocaching Absolutely Essentials

Water Particularly when the heat picks up, don't take a chance with dehydration. Take along a water bottle or two to keep yourself going.
A pen Although larger caches and some micros will have a pen or pencil, many will not. Pens dry out in the elements. So you really should always bring your own.
Hiking boots Sneakers will do for some urban caches, but most caches on Curacao are located in rougher the terrain. Hiking boots provide superior sole and ankle support and have saved me from cactus needles more then once.
Thorns All plants on the island are 'pika', so wear boots, long trousers and other protection.
Poisonous Plants There are a few on the island so watch out for them.
A Cell phone Or better a smartphone, so you can call for help, use it as a backup-GPS and take some nice pictures.
CITO please do collect and dispose of litter found along the way.
