birds in North America (Johnston and Odum 1956), and census data
from the Cayman Islands are not an exception to this rule (Table 5).
Only six species were found breeding in this formation. Some of these
birds required nesting sites in low trees and shrubs at the edge of or in a
partially cleared pasture. During the nonbreeding season an additional
10 species occurred at times in this formation, none of them (except
Ardeola ibis) ever recorded as common.
 BIRDS OF LOGWOOD FORESTS.-The dense logwood forests of Grand
Cayman support 10 breeding species (Table 6), some of these being
common or very common (Vireo magister, Dendroica vitellina, Coereba
flaveola, and Quiscalus niger). As in other terrestrial formations dis-
cussed here, a significant number of migrant species (12) regularly in-
habit this formation in the winter.
