You arrive in a sun-warmed minivan, the road unfurling from Falmouth toward Montego Bay as the driver threads through sugarcane flats and low limestone ridges. At Rocklands, the forest breathes close: hummingbirds dart like living sparks and the keeper offers nectar from a tiny bottle until a Doctor Bird lands on your finger. The birds are the show, but the day ties together human stories—plantation-era great houses and a civic square that remembers resistance.
