One of the rarest and most endangered Puerto Rican endemics, now almost entirely restricted to a few patches of cloud forest in the southwest of the island... Posted 8 months ago

Ferdy, I ran into that occasional bug generating the species page from wikipedia. Could you take a look, please? Posted 8 months ago

  Thanks! It took some effort, and the photo isn't great, but I had a great encounter with a pair and got to see them really well. Plus it's a beautiful warbler, very different to the ones we have in Peru, or even the classic North American ones. Posted 8 months ago
