Because of its diverse habitats, Green Castle is an excellent location to experience the great mix of resident and migratory birds of Jamaica. Through a university partnership, two graduate students and a number of volunteers have documented sightings of 109 species, including 20 of the 27 Jamaican endemics. Birders can access miles of farm roads and trails, two ponds, a marsh area and freshwater dam either through stays at the Estate House or by purchasing a daily access ticket. Those lodging at the Estate House will find that the veranda provides a relaxing place to watch birds in absolute comfort. All three endemic hummingbirds--doctorbirds, as Jamaicans call them--put on quite a show!
A birding or nature guide can be arranged at an additional charge.
