Black-Faced Grassquit - Male (Melanospiza bicolor) A male Black-Faced Grassquit I stumbled upon in Tobago, which was not bothered by my presence the slightest as it built its nest inches away from me and often perched right next to me. I made a very interesting observation during my time there as well: the wildlife in Tobago are much less skittish and afraid of humans than that of Trinidad.

The Black-faced grassquit

The black-faced grassquit is a small bird. It is recognized as a tanager closely related to Darwin's finches. It breeds in the West Indies except Cuba, on Tobago but not Trinidad, and along the northern coasts of Colombia and Venezuela.
