Phaenicophilus palmarum

The Black-crowned Palm-Tanager, scientifically known as Phaenicophilus palmarum, is a small songbird found in the Caribbean. It is characterized by its black crown, olive-green upperparts, and yellow underparts. This tanager is often found in forested areas, particularly in palm groves and mangroves. It forages for insects and fruits in the canopy and mid-levels of the forest. The species is known for its melodious song, which is often heard in the early morning. The Black-crowned Palm-Tanager is not currently considered to be at risk, but its habitat may be threatened by deforestation and habitat loss.
