Sisserou Parrot Country and Milton Falls

The highest point in Dominica is Morne Diablotins (4747 feet). It is also the area where the two parrots unique to the island can be found. The Imperial or Sisserou and the Red-neck or Jaco Parrot. We only saw the Jaco parrot but alas too hard to get a photo.




It was a wonderful day for a climb in the mountains. Although it had rained in the morning the skies were clear when we arrive in the afternoon.














There were many fruit trees along the way. Here are some starfruits.




















Bananas are a major export crop
























Papayas (Paw-Paw)

























Even wild Raspberries


















Fresh Water Shrimp. It would be hard to go hungry in this country.



















Coffee beans.

















Giant tree fern casts an interesting pattern in the sky.




















Wild Roses
















A field of Dasheen - much of which is exported


















Shampoo plant - if you squeeze this bulb, water flows out which can be used to shampoo your hair.
