Puerto Rican Spindalis (Spindalis portoricensis) (Above) is an endemic species that is wide spread all over Puerto Rico, but it is most common in forested areas. I was able to capture this picture the first day of my trip and I was very pleased with the results. After taking this picture I though things couldn't get an y better but I was also able to capture the Puerto Rican Tanager (Nesospingus speculiferus) (Below) the only endemic genus of birds we have in Puerto Rico.

search for Puerto Rican Emerald, Puerto Rican Spindalis, Puerto Rican Tanager, and Puerto Rican Oriole (an imminent split from Greater Antillean Oriole). The star attraction in this region, however, is Elfin Woods Warbler, discovered in 1971. This species can be very active and tends to remain in dense vegetation, but with some perseverance it is usually seen well by the entire group. More

Puerto Rican Spindalis are usually found in pairs but may travel in small flocks. These birds occasionally engage in a behavior called “mobbing,” when a flock of birds attack a known predator, usually to defend their eggs or hatchlings. Such behavior has been observed to be directed against E. inornatus, the Puerto Rican Boa. The most common vocalization is described as a "continuing series of high-pitched, thin, sibilant notes, given in a rhythmic pattern. More

The Puerto Rican Spindalis can be found in forested areas such as El Yunque or near Maricao. TAXONOMY: PASSERIFORMES; THRAUPIDAE. Formerly called the Stripe-headed Tanager (Spindalis zena portoricensis), but taxonomists recently split the Stripe-headed Tanager into four separate species, based on differences in calls and in the plumages of both males and females.
