The Antillean Euphonia is a small, colorful finch endemic to the Greater Antilles. Males exhibit glossy blue-black upperparts and bright yellow underparts, while females are duller green, making it a sexually dimorphic species.
Where to spot
Endemic to Hispaniola (Haiti and Dominican Republic) and Puerto Rico, and occasionally found on smaller surrounding islands. It prefers humid forests, plantations, and woodlands.
How to spot
Scan the mid to upper canopy of forests and tree-filled areas. Look for their quick, jerky movements. Identification is aided by the male's distinct blue-black and yellow pattern. Listen for their high-pitched, often repetitive calls.
When to spot
Resident throughout its range, observable year-round. Active observation is best during the early morning hours when they are typically foraging and vocalizing.

Like other euphonias, the Antillean Euphonia frequently incorporates mistletoe berries into its diet, inadvertently helping to spread mistletoe seeds through its droppings.
