bahama woodstar

Admittedly terrible at identifying hummingbirds, I believe this is a female Bahama Woodstar, common to the islands of the Bahamas. According to wikipedia and my bird guide, it's been spotted in SE Florida on occation.

If you look closely, it appears as though her entire body is covered in pollen. ;)

The tree looks remarkably like the Hawaiian 'Malay Apple' tree, which according google, has been introduced to the Carribean.

Considered the Carribean counterpart of the Robin, the Red-legged Thrush is only found in the Carribean.

American Kestrel (Bahamian Subspecies?)

American Kestrel (Bahamian Subspecies?)

Saw a good number of these around North Andros, all of which had a striking white chest and a more rusty coloured back.

From what I can tell, it's a subspecies of the American Kestrel known to populate the Bahamas, Cuba and likely Southern Florida: falco sparverius sparveroides?

Our flight from Nassau to Andros Island, the largest but least populated island in the Bahamas. They mentioned it would be a small plane, but this was awesomely small - 6 seats including the pilot. One passenger rode shotgun, which doubles as the copilots chair. Pictured is our approach to Andros island's charter airstrip.
