Another cool endemic bird to observe in Jamaica was the Jamaican Tody. It seems every Caribbean Island has it’s own endemic Tody as this is the fourth uniquely endemic Tody we have photographed in the Caribbean Islands.
The Jamaican Tody is a small, gemlike, woodland species usually found in pairs. Its rather large head, long bill, and short tail create a unique profile. Also note the shimmering green upperparts and red throat. It usually hunts from low-to-middle level perches, sitting nearly still before leaping upwards to snatch prey.
