Cayman Islands

There are three islands in the Cayman Island; Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman. Grand Cayman is the lagest island and has an estimated population of 50,000 with most of the tourism/population located in and around the capital of Georgetown. The other two islands are a short flight away. Cayman Brac has an estimated population of 1,000 while Little Cayman has only 100 permanent residents. Christopher Columbus discovered Little Cayman in 1503. In 2003 the Cayman Islands celebrated their Quincentennial.

A big thanks to deaj Jean-Pierre for another great card and stamps! 

Cayman Islands

A new country in my collection! My 1st postcard ever sent from the Cayman Islands! This postcard shows Cayman wildlife. There are ten mammalian species in the islands. Cayman avian fauna includes two endemic subspecies of Amazona parrots: Amazona leucocephala hesterna, or Cayman Brac Parrot, native only to Cayman Brac, and Amazona leucocephala caymanensis or Grand Cayman Parrot, which is native to the Cayman Islands, forested areas of Cuba, and the Isla de la Juventud. Among other notable fauna is the critically endangered Blue Iguana, which is endemic to Grand Cayman. Also present are the Central American agouti, along with the Booby Birds on Cayman Brac.
