An excellent new book entitled "Hispaniola, a Photographic Journey through Island Biodiversity", by Eladio Fernandez, has just been published (by Harvard University Press, in 2007). 
In the book, there are some superb photographs of the nature of the Dominican Republic. In the following list, pages in that book are referred to that have photos of the particular species -  noted with a (p.xx).  
Among the outstanding bird photographs in the book are those of:
- a Stygian Owl roosting in a pine tree in the daytime,  
- the first Western Chat-Tanager nest ever documented (a photo of the bird & a photo of the eggs),    
- an adult Hispaniolan Highland Tanager feeding a young bird (both birds on a branch),

Some Notes regarding Birds listed above:

104: The Dunlin has probably been observed only rarely in the Dominican Republic (if at all). The book "A Guide to the Birds of the West Indies" indicates no sightings, although it notes some records to the west in Cuba and to the east in Puerto Rico. 2 birds were seen during our tour on December 28, 1998 at Salinas, along the southern DR coast west of Santo Domingo.

149: Jamaican Parakeets  (formerly Olive-throated Parakeets) were first found during our July '95 Dominican Republic tour, with a substantial number (15-20), in a wild, remote area in the western part of the country, at mid-elevation in the Baoruco Mountains. Also during that tour, 1 was found in a flock of Hispaniolan Conures/Parakeets in the city of Santo Domingo. 
During nearly all of our tours subsequent to 1995 in the Baoruco Mountains, the Jamaican Conure/Parakeet has been seen in that area.
