This photographic guide offers comprehensive coverage of every bird species found in the Cayman Islands, including Grand Cayman, Little Cayman, and Cayman Brac. While the islands' only endemic species, the Cayman Islands Thrush, is now extinct, they remain a significant migratory stopover point and a destination for birdwatchers seeking regional rarities. The guide features hundreds of stunning photographs by Yves-Jacques Rey-Millet, accompanied by concise text detailing identification, similar species, vocalizations, habitats, behavior, and distribution for each species.
This essential companion is designed for anyone visiting the Cayman Islands with an interest in ornithology. It provides detailed information to aid in the identification and understanding of the local and migratory bird populations. The guide serves as a valuable resource for both novice birdwatchers and experienced enthusiasts, enhancing the experience of exploring the rich avifauna of these Caribbean islands.
With a rich avifauna of more than 300 species, the three islands that make up the Cayman Islands - Grand Cayman, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac - form an increasingly popular birding destination. Although the islands' sole endemic species, Cayman Islands Thrush, was extinct by the 1940s, the islands have a healthy crop of regional scarcities and are an important migrant stopping point as they cross the Caribbean.
Containing hundreds of stunning photographs by Yves-Jacques Rey-Millet, A Photographic Guide to the Birds of the Cayman Islands, the latest addition to Helm's Photographic Guides series, provides full photographic coverage of every species on the Cayman Islands list. Concise text for each species includes identification, similar species, voice, habitats and behaviour, status and distribution.
This guide is an essential companion for anyone visiting these beautiful islands.
