Bird Watching

I cannot believe it is already Thursday, July 12th! I only have one more day of this electronic management class I am doing this blog for. Wow, time flies. Well anyway, I want to share another interesting fact with you about the Cayman Islands. As I stated multiple times before when I was sharing information about scuba diving and other wildlife that the Cayman Islands has a strong commitment to conservation and environmental protection, not for just the ocean but also the land. The Cayman Islands are also known for birds. People go to the islands to bird watch and see unique birds you will not see anywhere else. The Cayman Islands are the home to a variety of bird species and a lot of other birds that make Cayman Islands their home away from home. In the peak season, you could find a up to 200 different species of birds!

Grand Cayman has seven different protected bird sanctuaries, which include the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park, Colliers Pond, Salina Reserve, and Majestic Reserve. Cayman Brac is the home to a 180 acre parrot reserve where you can find rare and endangered parrots, such as the Brac Parrot. Little Cayman's pond reserve protects the brown and red-footed boobies. This is where you will find the largest population for red footed boobies in the world. The Islands are homes to plenty to species. So not only is the Cayman Islands known for the beautiful sceneries, top destinations for scuba diving and snorkeling, but it is also known for the wildlife.
