With a tropical climate supporting a wealth of diverse and distinct ecosystems, it’s no wonder that Jamaica has become such a popular birding destination. From hummingbirds and the Red-billed Streamertail to the Greater Flamingo and parrots, the island is home to more than 300 stunning species, including 30 endemics and many subspecies.
Birds of Jamaica provides full coverage of all regularly occurring species on the Jamaican list. Each species account includes concise yet authoritative text, covering information on identification, similar species, voice, habitats, behaviour, status and distribution. There are also maps for resident and migrant birds, and recommended birdwatching sites, making this the perfect guide for any wildlife enthusiast visiting this spectacular Caribbean country.
