Is Caroni Swamp Scarlet Ibis Sunset Roost happening right now?

As of today, peak season now, through ~December 31. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.

Each evening large flocks of scarlet ibis (Eudocimus ruber) fly from feeding areas to the mangrove islands of Caroni Swamp, creating a dramatic sunset arrival and loud communal roost.

This is a nightly, predictable wildlife spectacle near Port of Spain, Trinidad, valued by local tour operators and nature guides.
