Caribbean birds

Here are a few photos of birds I saw in the Caribbean last year. They aren't perfect shots, but I'm glad I have them!

Ummm... before anyone squawks, so to speak, this is actually just a domestic chicken. 
They are from the same species, but unfortunately I can't claim this one as a true lifer!

The photos look very good to me. It always amazes me to find so many interesting birds while travelling out of Canada. Thanks for posting these.

Thanks, Mike. I found many of the Caribbean birds less flighty than most of ours, which was nice.
Looks like we may have to be satisfied with our local birds for the next little while, though! That'll give me more time to learn about them, hopefully.
