Corvus palmarum Württemberg, 1835

Corvidae — Crows, Jays

Hispaniolan Palm Crow, Corvus palmarum, is a crow of Hispaniola in North America, where it breeds in Haiti and the western Dominican Republic. It is a resident bird and is found in several parts of the island, especially mountain pine forest, though it also uses lowland evergreen forest and dry to humid deciduous woodland. Its range extends from sea level to 3,000 m, with most records between 750 and 2,000 m. It is a black corvid with the sexes alike, and fresh adults show purple-blue sheen on the mantle and wing coverts. It was described by Württemberg in 1835.
