Great shots of many small and tricky birds - hard to see in the first place and then hard to get to sit still for long enough to take a photo. I particularly like the Cuban green woodpecker, and the West Indian woodpecker photo is excellent. That side view is good, showing off his colours and markings and impressive beak to full advantage. As for seeing birds that others have spotted, it's amazing how hard it is to get (or give) clear directions to a bird's location in a mess of trees and vegetation before they take off again. I end up flailing and whispering - Over there! Turns out that's not a lot of help.
