The range of this bird covers the whole of the Caribbean slope from 

 about 600 feet up to 3,000 feet, a few straggling higher. It is not common 

 below 1,200 feet, being rarely seen, indeed it is not an abundant bird at 

 any point. It frequents wooded pastures, open woodland, and second- 

 growth scrub, but as a rule keeps higher above the ground than Ram- 

 phocelus. It is not noisy, but occasionally utters a note similar to that 

 of Ramphocelus.
