I am going to Jamaica (for a week) in two days and went looking for this so I thought I'd share it. This is a list of birds found in Jamaica and the status of the species. I am hoping to see as many of these as I can, however this trip is pretty last minute and I am not sure what to expect in terms of wild areas in the region I am going. I am staying with a friend in Redground, Negril on the West end of Jamaica. It appears to have a fair amount of green space but I can't tell on Google what the habitat is. A search describes the region as being quite good for birding. Weather is 29 degrees C with sun and clouds all week.
