Where to spot
Endemic to Jamaica. Found in a wide range of wooded habitats from dry coastal thickets to moist montane forests, as well as disturbed areas and gardens.
How to spot

This tiny bird often 'sings' by inflating its throat and making a whirring sound with its wings, accompanied by its distinctive vocalizations.
