In New York City we get them as migratory overshoots though they do stick around and attempt to find a mate on occasion (and there has been documented breeding of the species in the state). Enjoy these shots of Setophaga dominica and here’s hoping you manage to track one down for yourself this spring!

For one, they are remarkably diverse with a little over 380 species spread over every continent except Europe (only introduced) and Antarctica. With their strong flight and capability to disperse, parrots have managed to colonize almost every major island group from Tahiti to Mauritius to Dominica. I am a self-proclaimed psittacophile.

A massive (largest member of the Amazona group of parrots) creature with searing red eyes set in a sea of blue, brown, and purple, the Imperial Parrot ( Amazona imperialis ) is a recluse of higher elevation forest on the island of Dominica. A Blue-headed Hummingbird graced us with his presence, our first sighting of this species for the trip.

Interestingly, this species has been split into two distinct subspecies, one for each of the islands on which it is found.
