The Hispaniolan Palm Crow is a medium-sized, all-black crow endemic to the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean. It is closely associated with palm savannas and open woodlands.
Where to spot
Endemic to Hispaniola (Dominican Republic and Haiti), found in palm savannas, open woodlands, and cultivated areas, particularly near royal palm groves.
How to spot
Look for an all-black crow in palm-dominated landscapes. Its calls are often described as high-pitched and nasal, which helps distinguish it from other crows in the region.
When to spot
Resident year-round. Active during daylight hours, often seen foraging on the ground or perched prominently on trees and palms.
