🦜🌍 Did you know that over 100 migratory bird species visit Jamaica each year.
The American Redstart (aka the Christmas Bird) is one of these migrant warblers, commonly seen in gardens, parks, forests, and even built-up areas.

“They [hurricanes] keep coming, with little time in-between to recover. Otherwise put, they repeatedly knock us off the development trajectory we thought we were on,” says Jamaican #ClimateChange expert Prof Michael Taylor.

We’ve been getting a lot of questions about owls 🦉in Jamaica.
Many people still believe the myth that if you hear an owl screech, someone is going to die, or that seeing one is a bad omen.
In reality, owls are just trying to live. Please leave them alone

🦋🌿 Unusual butterfly swarms in Kingston
After Hurricane Melissa, several people in Kingston have reported large swarms of the lignum vitae butterfly (Kricogonia lyside). This isn’t something we normally see around Christmas.

I’ve received several reports of Cuban Treefrogs showing up in people’s bathrooms and showers 🐸🚿
These frogs are attracted to moisture, insects, and cool hiding spots. After Hurricane Melissa, displaced wildlife and new water sources

A lovely photo of our iconic Bald Pate, captured by a member of the @BirdLifeJamaica family 📸
Did you know Bald Pates are rarely seen foraging on the ground? However, after Hurricane Melissa, many were observed feeding on the ground likely responding to changes in habitat and food availability.

Jamaica’s crocodiles are protected by law and are endangered.
Whether you like or dislike crocodiles, there is no excuse for what was shown in this video.
If anyone knows the individual involved, I hope you will report him to the police or to NEPA.

🌿 Bromeliads are tiny ecosystems!
In Jamaica’s forests, these plants hold water in their leaves and provide homes for frogs, lizards, crabs, insects, and spiders.
After Hurricane Melissa, many bromeliads were lost. This can have real impacts on our biodiversity and forest recovery.

A friend told me they noticed changes in the birds around their home in Red Hills after the hurricane.
Have you noticed any changes in the birds you usually see around your home or community?

After Hurricane Melissa, there were several reports of temporary water bodies filled with tadpoles across Jamaica. 🐸
Most appear to be cane toad/bullfrog (Rhinella marina) tadpoles, with some Cuban treefrog (Osteopilus septentrionalis) and a few American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus)
