The Green-tailed Warbler is a small, secretive endemic of Hispaniola, characterized by its olive-green plumage and a subtle pale eye-ring. It is a denizen of dense forest undergrowth.
Where to spot
Endemic to the island of Hispaniola (Haiti and Dominican Republic), including Ile de la Gonâve. It inhabits humid broadleaf forests, dry forests, and dense scrublands, typically in the understory.
How to spot
Look for its overall olive-green plumage, which can make it hard to spot in dense foliage. Note its relatively long tail, pale eye-ring, and dusky lores. Listen for its soft, high-pitched calls and song, which can help in locating this elusive bird.
When to spot
Resident year-round on Hispaniola. Most active during the early morning and late afternoon.
