Endemic bird species of Puerto Rico on Observado.org

I'm quite a fan of the http://observado.org website. You'll find info on thousands of species, from plants to butterflies and from mushrooms to birds. But you won't find which species are endemics for a certain region and which aren't. That's a shame.

That's why I will try to fill this gap on this weblog. I used the list on the Wikipedia page to find the correct endemic species. Problem with wikipedia is that you can't find the localities, and not that many pictures. For this you'll need observado.org

So here's the list, with links to observado.org pages about these species. You'll find photos, distribution maps, places where to find these species, sound recordings etc etc.

(make sure you change the date to the period of your interest. I linked to the sightings and sometimes directly to the pictures. You can play with this yourself, if you use the "about this species" menu on the right corner of the observado.org screen):

Puerto Rican Lizard‑Cuckoo (Coccyzus vieilloti)
Yellow-shouldered Blackbird (Agelaius xanthomus)
Puerto Rican Parrot (Amazona vittata)
