The Cuban Bullfinch is a small, robust songbird endemic to Cuba, characterized by its glossy black plumage and a distinctive conical bill. It is a common and often vocal resident of woodlands, gardens, and scrublands across the island.
Where to spot
Endemic to Cuba and Isla de la Juventud, found in various habitats including forests, scrub, plantations, and gardens, particularly in areas with dense vegetation.
How to spot
Look for its entirely black plumage and thick bill. Listen for its varied and often musical song, or a sharp 'tsip' call. They can be found foraging in low shrubs and trees.
When to spot
Active year-round. Best observed during the breeding season (typically March to July) when males are most vocal, and during early morning or late afternoon.
