Bond doesn't have the birds of Trinidad or Tabago in it, except for a few
Caribbean species which make it to those islands. They are faunistically
part of South America, despite being *culturally* Caribbean. Best bets are
the two books mentioned earlier (Birds of T&T, Birds of Venezuela). Bill
Murphy's book on Finding Birds in T&T is invaluable if you were on your
own, would still be helpful on a tour in order to prep you for what you
may see at various spots.

Have a great trip...
