This bird is common on St. Vincent on the higher and steeper 
slopes, especially in the upper Cumberland valley, and in the woods 
behind Mt. Wynne and Peter’s Hope estates. I saw two in the 
woods behind Chateaubelair, and found it fairly numerous in winter 
in the Clare valley, and on Fort Charlotte Hill. 
This species would often pass unnoticed were it not for its loud 
voice, as it usually keeps well in the inner part of the trees and 
bushes, and is just about the size of the leaves of the trees upon 
which it is most often seen. Although common, it is rather difficult 
to procure owing to the precipitous nature of the slopes it inhabits, 
unless one is fortunate enough to discover a loblolly tree with fruit, 
or a silk-cotton tree just budding, where, if there are any about, 
tliev will be found in abundance. 
The call notes of this bird are three in number. One is a plain¬ 
tive whistle, somewhat like the whistle of the Redwing (Agelaius 
plioeniceus ), another is a chatter like that of the Baltimore Oriole 
(.Icterus galbula ), but lower pitched and not quite so loud, and the 
third is a characteristic quick and sharp double chirp. The last is 
the usual alarm note, but may be given at any time. All the notes 
are clear, and loud for such a small bird, and can be heard a long 
way across the valleys on a still clay. The song is low and sweet, 
occasionally punctuated by a clear whistle. Except for the whistling 
note, it bears a strong resemblance to that of Molothrus atronitens. 
In singing, a position is generally chosen in the lower branches of a 
tree, near the trunk, and the bird is at such times very unsus¬ 
picious. It is usually met with in little parties of from six to a 
dozen. 
On Grenada it is not very common, and is only found in the 
higher parts of the island.
