U.S. Virgin Islands – Last Of the Bird Pics

Today I’ll wrap up my pics taken in the U.S. Virgin Islands when I was there in February, 2025.

Here’s a Bananaquit perched at the base of its huge nest.  It appeared to be the only bird going in and out of the nest so it was not a multi-family dwelling.

 

Here’s a last look at a Brown Booby just as it dove into the water after its prey.

 

One last look at a Green-throated Carib as it fed on the flowers on the Margaritaville grounds.

 

Magnificent Frigate birds would soar over our condo overlooking Water Bay on St. Thomas.  First is a male and the second image is of an immature bird.

 

 

This male Red Junglefowl is originally found in South Asia but has been introduced in many places, including the Virgin Islands.

 

One of my favorite warblers is the Northern Parula.  We found one near our condo, wintering there and fattening up before its long migration north.

 

Although I focused on Brown Boobies and Brown Pelicans diving into Water Bay, several Royal Terns flew around the small bay and occasionally dove down for food.

 

Hope you enjoyed a look at the birds of the U.S. Virgin Islands. Karen and I have had the opportunity to travel to many interesting places in search of birds and if you would like read all my posts on birds of the U.S. Virgin Islands or any of our other national and international Bird Tours CLICK HERE.
