Spotted
The Palmchat is a unique and social passerine, endemic to Hispaniola, characterized by its olive-green upperparts and heavily streaked underparts. It is known for its communal nesting habits.
Where to spot
Endemic to the island of Hispaniola (Haiti and Dominican Republic), found across various habitats from lowland plains to mountain forests, as long as palm trees are present.
How to spot
Look for it in areas with abundant palm trees, especially royal palms. Observe their large communal nests. Listen for their noisy, chattering calls and watch their active social behavior around the nest.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active and vocal during the breeding season (typically March-June) when nesting colonies are bustling.

Palmchats build massive, communal stick nests in palm trees, which can contain many separate chambers, each used by a breeding pair, making them one of the few truly colonial passerine nesters.
