Puerto Rican Vireos were sam- pled at two sites in 1993 and 1994: Guajataca State Forest located in northwestern Puerto Rico, charac- terized by wet limestone forest; and Gunica State Forest on the southwestern coast, which lies in the rain shadow of the Central Cordillera mountain range and consists of semiarid scrub forest.

1973-1996, 135 AHY Puerto Rican Vireos were banded as part of the mist-net study, and 42 (31%) were recaptured at least once in a later year.

Finally, from 1990- 1993, 78 vireos were color-banded as part of the demographic study, and 25 were followed in two or more breeding seasons. More
