Spindalis nigricephala

The Black-crowned Palm-Tanager, scientifically known as Spindalis nigricephala, is a striking bird found in the Caribbean. This species is characterized by its black crown, bright yellow throat, and olive-green upperparts. They are often found in forested areas, where they forage for insects, fruits, and nectar. These tanagers are known for their melodious songs and are often seen in pairs or small groups. Their breeding season typically coincides with the rainy season, and they construct cup-shaped nests in the canopy. The Black-crowned Palm-Tanager is a delightful sight for birdwatchers and plays a vital role in the ecosystem as a seed disperser.
