We compiled and analyzed 101 accessiblereports of 194 individual Kirtland’s Warblers (Dendroica kirtlandii) from the Bahama Archipelago, 1841-1997. Most individuals were reportedfrom northernislands (88%), and most sightreports (84%) and specimen/banding records(76%) were on island groupsthat supportor formerly supportedopen woodlandsof Caribbeanpine (Pinus curilxzea). Where habitat descriptionswere provided, 60% mentioned specificallypines or pine understory.After analysesfor potentialbiases from misidentification in sight reports and unequaleffort acrossislands, we found no evidence to supportprevious claims that Kirtland’s Warblersprefer scrubor avoid pine habitats.Rather, based upon 1995- 1997 winter surveysusing acoustic broadcasts, K&land ’s Warblerswere detectedin pine wood- landsof Abaco and Grand Bahamamore frequentlythan expectedcompared to encounterrates generatedby a null model of random habitatuse.

Through The Bahamas' 16 Islands 16 Weddings competition, 16 lucky couples can win the opportunity to join celebrities - such as former Masters champion Adam Scott - who over the years have made The Bahamas their dream locale for tying the knot. Scott created a buzz over the weekend when it was revealed that he was the latest celebrity to wed in The Bahamas, exchanging “I do’s” with longtime girlfriend, Marie Kojzar. The list of recent Bahamas wedding celebrities include Mariah Carey and Nick Canon, who were married on Eleuthera in 2008 and Penelope Cruz and Javier Barden in 2010.

Freda Malcolm, ‘Director of Romance’ for The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, said, “people of all walks of life, including celebrated personalities are drawn to The Islands Of The Bahamas for picture-perfect weddings. The setting really does it,” she said. “You place two people who are in love into an idyllic environment with blue sky, blue seas and a sandy beach, and good things happen. With the right planning, it’s very hard to beat a Bahamas destination wedding." To date over two thousand couples have signed up for The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism's major destination wedding contest, now in its last few weeks.
