The Puerto Rican Tody is a common and widespread endemic to Puerto Rico from the coast to the Mountains. It’s habitat are forested areas, including damp forests of hills and mountains, shade coffee plantations and dense thickets in the arid lowlands of the south coast. It is dificult to see, but often heard. When perched this Tody have the habit of pointing its bill upward and with rapid, jerky movements of the head scans the undersurface of leaves for insects. On spying its prey, the Tody sallies out, snaps up the morsel and proceeds to a new perch all in one short, curved arc. Look for it along trails, specially in mud banks areas. Enjoy!!!
