Sparrowhawk Hill
Sparrowhawk Hill lies in the centre of Little Cayman, one of the Cayman Islands, a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean Sea. It is one of the territory's Important Bird Areas (IBAs).
Description[edit]
Sparrowhawk Hill is a 255 ha tract of pristine native dry forest with a maximum elevation of 20 m above sea level. Dominant tree species are Calyptranthes pallens, Canella winterana, Chionanthus caymanensis, Dipholis salicifolia and Erythroxylum areolatum.[1]
Birds[edit]
The IBA was identified as such by BirdLife International because it supports significant populations of white-crowned pigeons, Caribbean elaenias and vitelline warblers.[1]
