Book Description
Containing hundreds of stunning photographs by Yves-Jacques Rey-Millet, A Photographic Guide to the Birds of the Cayman Islands provides full photographic coverage of every species on the Cayman Islands list. With a rich avifauna of more than 300 species, the three islands that make up the Cayman Islands - Grand Cayman, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac - form an increasingly popular birding destination. Although the islands' sole endemic species, Cayman Islands Thrush, was extinct by the 1940s, the islands have a healthy crop of regional scarcities and are an important migrant stopping point as they cross the Caribbean. Concise text for each species includes identification, similar species, voice, habitats and behaviour, status and distribution. This guide is an essential companion for anyone visiting these beautiful islands.

Book Description
In the course of the last century a considerable amount of scientific work has been carried out in the Cayman Islands. The results of this (outlined in Chapter 1) are widely distributed in unpublished reports, university theses, various scientific publications and books, many of these sources being difficult to find and some now unobtainable. The purpose of this book, therefore, is to bring all this scattered information together and to present a coherent account of the biogeography and ecology of the Islands, as an easily available reference source and as a foundation on which future work can be based.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Birds of the West Indies: Including All Species Known to Occur in the Bahama Islands, the Greater, Antilles, the Caymans, and the Lesser Antilles, Excepting, the Islands of Tobago and Trinidad In preparing the present work, the writer has examined a large series of birds from nearly all of the islands of the West Indies, the combined collections representing many thousands of specimens. The writer has personally made five trips to different parts of the West Indies, and, aside from such collections as were made under his personal supervision, a number of collectors were sent to the more important islands for the purpose of obtaining as complete a series as possible. Several of the collectors were absent from six to eighteen months, and it is fair to assume that their collections contained nearly all of the resident species of the islands which they visited. The collections made by Mr. W. B. Richardson in Grand Cayman and some of the Lesser Antilles proved especially interesting, being very rich in novelties, his combined collections containing no less than seventeen species new to science. Most of the matter contained in the present work appeared in the "Auk" for 1886, 1887, and 1888; but since that time a large number of species have been added to the West Indian avi-fauna, which were either new to science or had not previously been recorded from that locality; descriptions of these are given in the Appendix, unless included in their proper order in the body of the work. A number of alterations and corrections have been made in the original plates, and several new illustrations have been added. The following species have been recorded since the "Birds of the West Indies" was first published in the "Auk" - Mimocichla ravida Cory. Grand Cayman, Margarops montanus rufus Cory. Dominico, Margarops montanus albiventris (Lawr.). Grenada, Rhamphocinclus sanctae-luciae Cory. St. Lucia, Polioptila caerulea caesiogaster Ridgw. Bahamas, Thryothorus guadeloupensis Cory. Grand Terre, Guadeloupe, Dendroica vittellina Cory. Grand Cayman, Dendroica aurocapilla Ridgw. Grand Cayman, Geothlypis coryi Ridgw. Eleuthera I., Bahamas, Geothlypis tanneri Ridgw. Abaco I., Bahamas, Certhiola sharpei Cory. Grand Cayman. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
"Represents a major undertaking that is indeed original, significant, and an important contribution toward better understanding and ultimately conserving this extraordinary resource."--Herbert A. Raffaele, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service "The Caribbean is biologically rich and varied. This book on seabirds ably demonstrates that the Caribbean is much more than just a holiday destination of sun, sea, and sand. I highly recommend it."--John Chardine, Canadian Wildlife Service This island-by-island inventory of Caribbean seabirds includes colony locations and estimates of the numbers of breeding pairs, the severe threats that seabirds face, and proposals for research and conservation measures. In the past two decades, global populations of seabirds have declined faster than any other group of birds, yet almost no conservation resources are expended to counteract this trend, especially among tropical seabirds. This volume includes twenty-five national accounts, written by professional and amateur ornithologists, and illustrated by maps specially prepared by William Mackin and The Nature Conservancy. This inventory brings together the best and most complete set of data on breeding seabirds that nest on the islands throughout the Caribbean, making it invaluable for anyone interested in sustaining seabird populations.
