When people say there aren’t so many birds on St. Martin, they’re right in many ways. There are 150 species ever recorded on the island, including rare vagrants seen only once or a few times, which is not a lot of species. Also, there are not very many species that hang out around people. Anyone not looking for birds on St. Martin might only notice about a dozen species.
One of the ones that people do see is the gray kingbird, which seems quite comfortable hanging out in town. They are often seen on power lines, flying off briefly to catch insects. They also nest on power poles, as seen here.
