A Bird's Tale

It is a 5 minute bicycle ride from Condo del Sole to Joseph's Village Liquor Store on the North Coast of Little Cayman. Riding up there for a six pack of Carib to while away the late afternoon on the cool front balcony. About halfway there, alone on the road on my bike and, BAM!, something whacks me hard on the back of my head. Quickly turning around, I see a Caribbean mockingbird flying away about 8 inches from my head. Words cannot describe the crazy sound that emanated from my mouth after that bird literally slapped the back of my head. In some crazy way, experiences like this are why I love Little Cayman. Here is a short video and a small sampling of the 300 species of birds that are either native to or are regular visitors of Little Cayman. Take a look...
