10,000 Birds

MAY 10, 2013

Heading out of Ecclesdown Road on the second day of my trip, I had nailed all of my targets save four species ( Caribbean Dove , Yellow-billed Parrot , Jamaican Owl , and Stolid Flycatcher ). Streamertail is a spectacular and abundant endemic species of Jamaica, locally known as the Doctorbird. .

I expect he has done some travelling in the period from May 2012 to February 2013! The hinterland produced some amazing birds and we did find it hard work looking so high into the trees to find the Catbird that continuously called and the Wompoo Fruit Dove, but the leaf litter below also produced some well-disguised birds.

I was very fortunate to visit the park twice, once in April 2012 and just recently in November 2013, and can fully confirm that the birding is epic. Little Pied Flycatchers are amongst the most aptly-named bird species: they are little, they are pied, and they catch flies. No need to despair if a weekend visit is all you can organize.
