The latest #Caribbean Photo comes from Caribbean Journal reader Kara Peterson, who sent in this beautiful shot of #Nevis Peak, as viewed from Cockleshell Beach in St Kitts. https://www.caribjournal.com/2025/04/26/caribbean-photo-nevis-peak/
The pearly-eyed thrasher, a bird common to the US Virgin Islands. They are often inquisitive and bold, and always looking for any food humans might have to offer.

“Los Haitises National Park mangrove”
Despite the poor soil, frequent rainfall and high humidity have allowed the development of vegetation typical of the subtropical rainforest.
The park is an impressive vegetation maze of deep fjords that merge into mangrove and liana forests. The reserve boasts many precious varieties of tree, from cedar to mahogany and mangrove.

Please, check the list before you #boycott anyone.
Wikipedia's page on Gildan says their manufacturing is in the #Caribbean, not #ElSalvador.
Here's the list from the video:
Hanes (underwear, T-shirts) 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanes
Mentions El Salvador, and also lists other brands grouped together under Hanesbrands. If I have spoons, I'll circle back.
Fruit of the Loom (apparel) 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_of_the_Loom
Identifies Hoduras, after closing a factory in Kentucky. Lots of brands under Russell Brands, LLC.
Gildan (basic clothing)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gildan
Haiti, and, quoting: "According to 2012 report by Workers Rights Consortium, Gildan "ultimately intervened aggressively at Genesis and, to Gildan’s credit, played a pivotal role in achieving reinstatement. Hanesbrands played a similar role at Multiwear."
Diana (snacks and candy)
Page does not exist, however, in the page for "Corn nut" the company is mentioned as being in El Salvador.
Capri (mattresses and furniture) 
No wikipedia page, but on their website, they feature a YouTube video of their solar array at their manufacturing plant in Ocala, FL USA. https://youtu.be/7_cAgpqvnRo?si=UKvLEzt8HeGvHSnB
Indufoam (bedding and mattresses)
Their headquarters is in El Salvador
https://www.indufoam.com
Bon Appetit (snack foods)
https://www.bonappetitbakery.com
Appears to be located in California.
Livsmart (beverages)
The website they list on LinkedIn as being theirs is for sale.
Jumex (juice and drinks)
Their headquarters are in Mexico, and that's all I found.
Laboratorios Vijosa (pharmaceuticals)
Def in El Salvador
Salvaplastic (plastic goods)
Def in El Salvador
Olimpia Beds (furniture)
https://www.olimpiamattress.com
Manufacturing in Turkey, with "branches" worldwide, dunno if that's addtional factories, or warehouses.

“Majestic Brown pelican”
With their broad wings and long beaks, brown pelicans are clumsy on land, but the largest pelicaniformes have a rare elegance in the air and a formidable efficiency when they dive to fish in the seas around the American continent.
On the coastline, brown pelicans frolic from dawn to dusk. Bathing birds, they spend most of the day catching their daily two kilos of fish. In disorderly squadrons, they play on wind currents, then swoop down from a height of 30 m on schools of sardines and anchovies. This species frequently follows fishing boats.
Their expandable gular pouch is tinged with red and green during courtship.
