St. Lucia Black Finch

Ramphocinclus sanctaeluciae

The St. Lucia Black Finch is a small passerine bird endemic to the island of St. Lucia in the Caribbean. It is characterized by its glossy black plumage, with a distinctive white patch on the wings. These finches are typically found in the dense undergrowth of the island's montane forests, where they forage for small insects, seeds, and fruits. The St. Lucia Black Finch is known for its melodious song, which is often heard during the breeding season. Due to habitat loss and invasive species, the population of this species is declining, and conservation efforts are underway to protect its remaining habitat.

Habitat: Montane forests
