We are unsure as to what the bird population is there, but there are a lot less birds present at the old ones.

Birding the Holiday Inn Resort, Montego Bay, Jamaica

10,000 Birds

Over President’s Day weekend my family and I took a much-needed break in Jamaica. Brown Pelicans were always present and regularly dove for fish, as you can see in the above photo.
