Description
The palm crow (Corvus palmarum) is a relatively small corvid that occurs mostly on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic). It was formerly quite frequent on Cuba, but has become severely reduced in number there.
Habitat
The local name for the palm crow is cao in the Dominican Republic (where it is locally common, mainly in mountain pine forests and also around the area of Lake Enriquillo), which is onomatopoeic of the simple and repetitive call of this bird.
