| Hayes, F. E., and G. L. White. 2001. Status of the Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) in Trinidad and Tobago. Pitirre 14:54-58. Abstract.--The Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) is an Old World species that has appeared with increasing frequency in the New World since 1954 and began breeding in Barbados in 1994. We summarize data for at least 33 records of the species for Trinidad and 17 for Tobago from 1959-2001. It has been recorded during each month of the year on each island, with no marked seasonal variation, though the highest monthly totals are from the first few months of the year. High counts include five for Trinidad and two for Tobago. Breeding is expected but has not been documented.
