Birding in French Polynesia XVII
17 January 2026
Over the next 28 days, I will be spending my time birding on Tahiti and Mo'orea, two islands in the Windward Islands, an archipelago belonging to French Polynesia, an overseas territory of France. Birds in italics indicate lifers.

Today, we went to Mara'a caves, where we started by using the app Seek, to find out about the different plant species. We were planning to continue at the Harrison Smith Botanical Gardens, however it turned out they were doing repairs... since mid 2023. Instead, we went to Vaipahi Water Gardens, where we saw some Jungle Perch in the ponds, and saw many more plant species. Later, in the afternoon, we went to Vairai Park, in Punaauia, in search of Black-headed Weaver. Unfortunately, we didn't see any.
