Spotted
The Puerto Rican Flycatcher is an endemic resident of Puerto Rico, a common sight in its varied forested and open habitats. It is a typical Myiarchus with a strong presence in its range.
Where to spot
Endemic to Puerto Rico, where it is found in virtually all forested habitats, from coastal mangroves to montane forests, and also in gardens and urban parks.
How to spot
Look for it perched in trees and shrubs, often sallying out to catch insects. Its plumage is a typical Myiarchus pattern (brownish-gray above, pale yellow below, rufous on wings/tail), making its distinctive calls important for identification.
When to spot
Resident year-round in Puerto Rico. Most active during the cooler parts of the day, especially in the mornings.
This species is one of the few Myiarchus flycatchers restricted to a single large island, making it a special find for birdwatchers visiting Puerto Rico.
