Bond was an American ornithologist, specializing in birds of th🍎e Caribbean, and while living in Jamaica, met and befriended Ian Fleming, who was also an avid bird watcher. Fleming liked and decided James Bond was the name he had been searching for and used Bond’s name for the protagonist of his first novel Casino Royale and the subsequent secret service series featuring James Bond.
