  • About La Sagesse

There has been extensive clearcutting of mangroves and other vegetation on the headland and around the salt pond at La Sagesse which has destroyed this site. Read more on the BirdsCaribbean Blog.

La Sagesse Pre-2020

This quiet mangrove estuary along the southern coast is one of the best bird-watching locales on Grenada. The area contains some 22 hectares, representative of the dry coastal belt with dry evergreen woodland and cactus scrub. In addition to the estuary, La Sagesse includes three fine beaches edged with palm trees, a very good coral reef for snorkeling, a pristine example of dry thorn scrub and cactus woodland, and a salt pond. The pond attracts an abundance of different species.

Tennis pro, herpetologist, ornithologist, ichthyologist ... Orlando Garrido is 90 today. I took this photo a few years ago, when he invited me to his home to make some sound recordings of the captive hutias (Capromyidae) he was studying. Feliz cumpleaños Garrido. @BirdsCaribbean pic.twitter.com/xtiA…
