Description
Embark on a private trip to the Rocklands Bird Sanctuary and enjoy the convenience of having your own driver. See several different species including the Jamaican Oriole, The Doctor Bird, and others.
This tour is for those who are interested in different species of birds. So why not book PARADISE PALMS JAMAICA TRANSPORTATION for a trip and visit Rocklands Bird Sanctuary which is located in the little town of Anchovy about 3 miles outside Montego Bay. At the Rocklands Bird Sanctuary you will find the Red-billed Streamertail and the Jamaican Mango birds which are so tame that they will come straight to a handheld bottle of sugar and water and some of them will even sit on your finger to feed from the bottles. What an amazing experience for the whole family.
After you are taken to the sanctuary, you will be provided with a guided tour which allows you to walk through the woods where you will be able to see some other Jamaican and Caribbean species as well as some familiar North American warblers wintering in the Caribbean, such as Black-throated Blue Warbler, American Redstart and Northern Parula. The endemic and Caribbean species most likely to be seen are: Jamaican Woodpecker, White-chinned Thrush, Rufous-tailed Flycatcher, Jamaican Tody, Jamaican Euphonia, Jamaican Vireo, Jamaican Becard, Vervain Hummingbird, Loggerhead Kingbird and Sad Flycatcher. Sounds quite interesting.
