The Thick-billed Vireo is a Caribbean island endemic, recognizable by its stout, thick bill, yellowish underparts, and often a pale eye-ring. It is an active insectivore of shrubby coastal habitats.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos Islands, and some northern Caribbean islands. It inhabits coastal scrub, pine woodlands, and dense thickets.
How to spot
Look for its notably thick bill and yellowish underparts. Listen for its slow, deliberate, and somewhat scratchy vireo song. Scan dense coastal vegetation.
When to spot
Active year-round in its resident tropical island habitat. Most vocal during the breeding season. Best observed in the early mornings.
