Birding West Jamaica Endemics

Saturday, February 9: Montego Bay

Birding from hotel before departure
Doctor's Cave Beach Hotel

Bird of the Day: Common Ground Dove

This would be a travel home day. Our taxi was coming a 9 am, so we birded from the 2nd floor landing. We saw a Red-billed Streamertail, a White-crowned Parrot and a Loggerhead Kingbird. Then we went doen for breakfast. Irene was there reading her email, so the three of us had breakfast together. The others came down a bit later. We chatted then left to bring down our suitcase. By then, our friends were checking out the souvenirs. We said our goodbyes and headed for the airport. Soon we were winging our way home as we left beautiful Montego Bay behind.
