Day 105: Black-faced Grassquit

The Black-faced Grassquit is a small tanager that breeds in the Caribbean. Males are olive green above, paler grey-olive below, and have a black head and breast. Females have dull olive-grey upperparts and paler grey underparts becoming whiter on the belly.




The Black-faced Grassquit feeds mainly on seeds, especially of grasses and weeds. It is often found in small groups, but is solitary at evening roosts.
