Camera traps have been placed in front of some karst solution holes in the dry-transition forest of the southern slopes of the Sierra de Bahoruco, in the Pedernales province, Dominican Republic.
The holes hold water after rains, making it one of the very few spots where water is available in that forest (no surface rivers or marshes around). These holes are visited by a variety of animals, which include herps like whiptails, curlytails, racers, iguanas, and other rarities like the solenodon, and many birds.
I wanted to share this photo, since in it is the first anole recorded, an Anolis strahmi, which seems to be displaying at a nearby bird (Ovenbird, placed at extreme right of the frame).
