Day 355: Elfin-woods Warbler

The Elfin-woods Warbler is one bird that Jared really wanted to see while we were in Puerto Rico. This is another bird that is endemic to the island. This species was only discovered in 1968 and described in 1972. We searched long and hard to find one in an area of the island where they have been seen before. We did hear one, but weren't able to get a photo. The Elfin-woods Warbler looks similar to the Black-and-white Warbler.

Here's a photo of an Elfin-woods Warbler (not my photo):
