Gallito de Agua / Northern Jacana ( Jacana spinosa )
status en RD Residente no común (Rnc) / No Common Resident

*Behold the resplendent Northern Jacana (Jacana spinosa), captured with artistic mastery on the 4th of February, 2023, amidst the serene grounds of Hacienda Estrella in the Dominican Republic. Like a vision transported from a naturalist's dream, this avian marvel is adorned in plumage of lustrous gold and earthy brown, crowned with a striking black and yellow frontal shield—a herald of its unique elegance.*

*Pray, cast thine eyes upon its most curious appendages—those elongated toes which bespeak a tale most wondrous. These remarkable feet, spanning an improbable length, confer upon the Jacana its moniker, the “Jesus bird,” for it appears to tread miraculously upon the water's surface. In truth, its spindly toes distribute its weight with finesse, allowing it to traverse the aquatic tapestry of lily pads and vegetation that adorn its habitat.*

*A creature of singular grace, the Northern Jacana is a testament to the ingenuity of the natural world, where beauty and function entwine in harmony. Were such a being to grace the parlours and salons of Victorian naturalists, it would surely inspire a thousand odes and scientific treatises alike.*

The black-throated blue warbler (Setophaga caerulescens) is a small passerine bird of the New World warbler family. Its breeding ranges are located in the interior of deciduous and mixed coniferous forests in eastern North America. Over the cooler months, it migrates to islands in the Caribbean and Central America. It is a very rarely found in western Europe, where it is considered to be a non-indigenous species. The black-throated blue warbler is sexually dimorphic; the adult male has a black face and cheeks, deep blue upperparts and white underparts, while the adult female is olive-brown above and light yellow below.
Predominantly insectivorous, the black-throated blue warbler supplements its diet with berries and seeds in winter. It builds its nests in thick shrubs and the closeness of its nesting sites to the ground make it a favored species for the study of warbler behavior in the wild.

El carpinterito antillano (Nesoctites micromegas), también denominado carpinterito de sierra y carpintero bolo, es una especie de ave piciforme de la familia Picidae endémica de La Española. Es la única especie del género Nesoctites. La especie procede evolutivamente de una rama distinta a los demás carpinteritos por lo que se emplaza en su propia subfamilia, Nesoctitinae. Se ha encontrado en la República Dominicana una pluma fosilizada en ambar que se atribuye a su género, lo que indica que los ancestros de la especie se aislaron en La Española al menos hace 25 millones de años.
es un piciforme pequeño, aunque dobla en tamaño a otros carpinteritos, que mide unos 14–16 cm y pesa alrededor de 30 g. El macho tiene el píleo amarillo con una mancha roja en el centro. El plumaje de la espalda, parte posterior del cuello y alas es verde oliváceo, mientras que sus partes inferiores son flanquecinas con mutas pardo verdosas. La hembra tiene un aspecto similar al macho excepto en que carece de la mancha roja en la parte superior de la cabeza. The Los juveniles son similares aunque tienen un plumaje de tonos más apagados a los adultos.
El carpinterito antillano ocupa diversos hábitats de isla de La Española y la aledaña la Gonâve como los bosques de pinos y bosques secos de hoja ancha, además de las zonas semiáridas de matorrales y espinos
l carpinterito antillano se alimenta de insectos, siendo las hormigas y los escarabajos la base de su dieta. También consumen gran cantidad de frutos en comparación con sus parientes.

################

The Antillean piculet (Nesoctites micromegas) is a species of bird in the woodpecker family Picidae. It is monotypic within the genus Nesoctites. The species is evolutionarily distinct from the other piculets and is afforded its own subfamily Nesoctitinae. It is endemic to the Caribbean island of Hispaniola. A fossil feather in amber attributed to the genus has been found in the Dominican Republic, showing that the ancestors of the species have been isolated on Hispaniola for at least 25 mya.
The Antillean piculet occupies a number of different habitats within Hispaniola, including humid and dry Pinus and broadleaf forests, as well as semi-arid scrubland and thorn-forest. It will also occupy stands of mangrove forest and occasionally orchards and plantations. It occurs from sea-level to 1800 m, although in pine forests it is more common below 300 m.
The Antillean piculet feeds on insects, with ants and beetles forming a large part of the diet. They also consume a lot of fruit compared to other piculets. Individuals and pairs forage rapidly through the understory of their habitat, mostly on small branches, twigs, vines and stalks, and less commonly on trunks

Existen 6 sub-especies: Cuba (Tyrannus caudifasciatus caudifasciatus), Jamaica (yrannus caudifasciatus jamaicensis), Puerto Rico (Tyrannus caudifasciatus taylori), Bahamas (Tyrannus caudifasciatus bahamensis) y las Islas Caimán (Tyrannus caudifasciatus caymanensis), y la Nuestra que antes mencionamos.
Mide unos 23 cm de largo. La cabeza y el cuello son de color negro mate y el resto del dorso es gris oscuro. La cola es negra pero con el ápice más pálido y rojizo y con ribete blanco ceniciento en el extremo; su corte terminal es redondeado. Las partes inferiores son mayormente blanco grisáceas, pero con tono algo amarillento en las axilas y en las cobertoras inferiores de la cola. El pico y los pies son negros. En la coronilla tiene una manchita anaranjada clara o amarilla que en el inmaduro está ausente, además este se distingue del adulto por tener las alas con barrados parduzcos. Su canto parece decir “te-te-til guatíbere”.
Se posan solos en perchas sin hojas para ver sus presas. Cuando cortejan se posan enfrentados, engrifan la coronilla, levantan mucho la cola y dejan las alas algo caídas, aparentando las preliminares de una pelea. Se alimentan de insectos voladores grandes, de lagartijas y frutas pequeñas.

Es la única especie del género Nesoctites. La especie procede evolutivamente de una rama distinta a los demás carpinteritos por lo que se emplaza en su propia subfamilia, Nesoctitinae. Se ha encontrado en la República Dominicana una pluma fosilizada en ambar que se atribuye a su género, lo que indica que los ancestros de la especie se aislaron en La Española al menos hace 25 millones de años.
es un piciforme pequeño, aunque dobla en tamaño a otros carpinteritos, que mide unos 14–16 cm y pesa alrededor de 30 g. El macho tiene el píleo amarillo con una mancha roja en el centro. El plumaje de la espalda, parte posterior del cuello y alas es verde oliváceo, mientras que sus partes inferiores son flanquecinas con mutas pardo verdosas. La hembra tiene un aspecto similar al macho excepto en que carece de la mancha roja en la parte superior de la cabeza. The Los juveniles son similares aunque tienen un plumaje de tonos más apagados a los adultos.
El carpinterito antillano ocupa diversos hábitats de isla de La Española y la aledaña la Gonâve como los bosques de pinos y bosques secos de hoja ancha, además de las zonas semiáridas de matorrales y espinos
l carpinterito antillano se alimenta de insectos, siendo las hormigas y los escarabajos la base de su dieta. También consumen gran cantidad de frutos en comparación con sus parientes.

The Antillean piculet (Nesoctites micromegas) is a species of bird in the woodpecker family Picidae. It is monotypic within the genus Nesoctites. The species is evolutionarily distinct from the other piculets and is afforded its own subfamily Nesoctitinae. It is endemic to the Caribbean island of Hispaniola. A fossil feather in amber attributed to the genus has been found in the Dominican Republic, showing that the ancestors of the species have been isolated on Hispaniola for at least 25 mya.
The Antillean piculet occupies a number of different habitats within Hispaniola, including humid and dry Pinus and broadleaf forests, as well as semi-arid scrubland and thorn-forest. It will also occupy stands of mangrove forest and occasionally orchards and plantations. It occurs from sea-level to 1800 m, although in pine forests it is more common below 300 m.
The Antillean piculet feeds on insects, with ants and beetles forming a large part of the diet. They also consume a lot of fruit compared to other piculets. Individuals and pairs forage rapidly through the understory of their habitat, mostly on small branches, twigs, vines and stalks, and less commonly on trunks
