In February 2023 we visited Jamaica as part of my exploration of the life of my third great grandfather, Captain George Cannon, a slave boat captain from the Isle of Man, who visited Jamaica a number of times in the 1790s. While in Jamaica I did some birding and we spent a night at the wonderful Hotel Mockingbird Hill followed by time with a birding guide there. I saw many of the birds endemic to Jamaica, including the orangequit, which I did not get a photo of.
