Recently I visited Runaway Bay in Jamaica and managed to photograph some of the birds seen in the surrounding areas. Altogether I saw 22 different species of birds there; though I expected more given the presence of lush green vegetation all around. I need some help in confirming the IDs of the following. Thanks in advance.

1. Little Blue Heron?


2. Royal Terns?


3 & 4: Prairie Warbler?



5 & 6. Jamaican Bacard? Same bird, different angle and seen high in the canopy while riding a chair lift to the humming bird garden near Ocho Rios



7&8: Loggerhead Kingbird? Seen while riding a chair lift to the top of a mountain near Ocho Rios.



9: What's one on the left? A Vervain Hummingbird or a female Doctor Bird? On the right is an unmistakable male Doctor Bird.


10 & 11. Warbler - what kind? Same bird - different frames



12: Glossy Ibis? Taken very early in the morning.

1 through 4 look correct. 10 and 11 look like an American Redstart. The ibis is tough with the light.

7-8 Looks correct
9 Female Doctor Bird, I think, due to the long bill.
