Just for the Record
And of interest to me only... the species list from my 31 Jan-05 Feb 06 trip to Jamaica. I really could only bird the hotel grounds and adjacent areas. Not much time. Bold are life birds.
| Bananaquit | Northern Mockingbird |
| Common Ground-dove | Osprey |
| Zenaida Dove | Olive-throated parakeet |
| Cattle Egret | Northern Parula |
| Great Egret | Brown Pelican |
| Snowy Egret | White-crowned pigeon |
| Jamaican Euphonia | American Redstart |
| Magnificent Frigatebird | Spotted Sandpiper |
| Greater Antillean Grackle | White-chinned Thrush |
| Red-tailed Hawk | Jamaican Tody |
| Great Blue Heron | Turkey Vulture |
| Green Heron | Black-throated Blue Warbler |
| Little Blue Heron | Prairie Warbler |
| Tricolored Heron | Jamaican Woodpecker |
| American Kestral | |
| Kingbird sp. (Maybe Gray Kingbird? Eastern Kingbird less likely. Couldn't see the tail.) | Hummingbird sp. (Red-billed streamertail? Streamers missing.) |
I also saw several red junglefowl. Don't know if they count on a legitimate species count or not. I definitely need to bird the island some more.

Love the Tody.
It's even more fun to see one in person.
