Endemic to Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti) and nearby islands like Gonâve, Tortuga, and Saona. Found in a variety of wooded habitats, including humid forests, dry forests, and scrubland.
How to spot
Look for the male's contrasting black and reddish-orange plumage. Listen for its loud, clear, whistling song. They often perch conspicuously on branches or forage on the forest floor.
When to spot
Active year-round. Most vocal during the breeding season, typically from April to July. Best observed during early mornings.

This bullfinch often forages on the ground, using its strong bill to crack open seeds and nuts, and can even be observed pecking at fallen fruit.
