The Caribbean Elaenia is a small, common flycatcher found across many Caribbean islands. It's often encountered in a variety of wooded and semi-open habitats, from coastal scrub to dry forests and gardens.
Where to spot
Widely distributed across the islands of the Caribbean, including the Greater and Lesser Antilles. It prefers woodlands, clearings, and cultivated areas.
How to spot
Look for its typical flycatcher behavior: perching upright on an exposed branch, darting out to catch insects in flight, and often returning to the same or a nearby perch. Listen for its clear, distinctive whistle.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round in its resident range. Active primarily during the early morning and late afternoon hours.

Despite its somewhat drab appearance, its distinctive, two-part whistle call is a characteristic sound of its island home, helping birders locate it.
