Description

From flourishing inland wetlands, mountains and forests to a beautiful coastline of sandy beaches, mangroves and coastal cays, Jamaica boasts a dazzling range of habitats and avifauna. The island is home to more than 300 species including 32 endemics, such as Red-billed Streamertail, Orangequit and Jamaican Tody, and many Caribbean subspecies.

The ideal companion for any wildlife-friendly visitor, Birds of Jamaica provides photographic coverage of every regularly occurring species on the island. Concise text for each species includes information on identification, similar species, voice, habitat, behaviour, distribution and status, alongside range maps and carefully selected photographs. A guide to key habitats and the best birding sites in the region is also included.

Portable yet authoritative, this is the perfect guide for birdwatchers visiting this spectacular Caribbean country.
