The Montserrat Oriole is a critically endangered songbird endemic to the Caribbean island of Montserrat, featuring a brilliant orange body with black wings and tail. It is a significant conservation priority due to its extremely small and declining population.
Where to spot
Endemic to Montserrat in the Lesser Antilles, restricted to the active Soufrière Hills Volcano region, primarily found in undisturbed humid montane forests.
How to spot
Look for its striking orange and black plumage within the dense forest canopy. Due to its rarity, a local guide familiar with its habits and range is highly recommended. Listen for its clear, whistling song.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Observing this rare bird requires visiting protected areas and specific habitats on Montserrat, often during early mornings.
