Jamaica's national bird is the Red-billed Streamertail. This is the female of that gorgeous hummingbird.

Share something that brings a smile to you. 😊
I’ll start with this lovely Bald Pate (White-crowned Pigeon).

Last for now is the Turkey Vulture. Quite a common sight, soaring over the shoreline or on thermals in the hills.

Next up is the striking Jamaican Woodpecker. Not shy at all, and often seen in the garden of the apartment where I'm staying, in a tree or attacking a telephone post!

Another happy moment, driving around the construction site here in Kingston. I thought I was hearing the tracks of an excavator squeaking, but then realised it was birds, very close to the car! Killdeer are largish plovers with an unusual two black bars across the breast.

This lovely bird is an Arrowhead Warbler (ebird.org/species/arrw...), also endemic to Jamaica. They are widespread, but more common up in the high, wet forest. Most closely related to Elfin-woods and Plumbeous warblers, also endemic to specific islands in the Caribbean.

Just another day in the life of a Royal Tern—taking a little time to groom and keep those feathers in shape. 🐦🌊

Black and Red-billed Streamertails from the Starlight Chalet and LF Jungle Retreat, Jamaica.

The stars of the show, the #1 target birds for Jamaica; easy to find in the right places. Red-billed are pretty widespread, black-billed restricted to the far northeast.

Well! An unexpected job in Jamaica and a chance to see a whole new set of birds!! White-winged Dove, Greater Antillean Grackle, Brown Pelicans and a Turkey Vulture. All lifers.

An Olive-throated Parakeet. (Jamaican variety). One of a small flock noisily squawking on the phone lines beside the road. Very unconcerned about me walking up for a closer look.

Thanks Shajuana for sharing these lovely pics from a camera trap deployed at the CCAM Discovery Centre!

Another four residents of Hope Botanical Gardens, here in Kingston, Jamaica. A beautiful park, right on the edge of the urban area at the foot of forested hill slopes behind.

Which one do you call the Northern Potoo in Jamaica? 👀🌙
