of North American migrants) |

Hunting Season

Not a good time
for birds or birdwatchers In Jamaica almost all birds and eggs are protected by law - (Wild Life Protection Act) - Excluded are a few game
birds - The Natural Environmental Protection Authority is the agency
responsible for environmental matters such as the issuing of shooting
permits |
