Birding Grand Cayman

GeoTagged, [N26.78986, E114.59587]

Carrie and I did some research on the Internet and learned just enough to be dangerous. One of the two most sought after species on Grand Cayman is the Cayman Parrot. It's most likely a very close relative of the Cuban Parrot. Due to a lack of habitat it's numbers dwindled in the not so recent past. Ten years ago the government started setting aside land and trying to raise the publics awareness of the Parrot. One of the best areas to locate the Parrot is the Queen Elizabeth Botanical Garden, so we made that our first stop. The Park is gorgeously planted and it didn't take Carrie long to locate our target!
