Puerto Rican Emerald
Riccordia maugaeus
A lively inhabitant of most wooded habitats, coffee plantations, and gardens. The long-tailed male is distinctive in being entirely iridescent green, although can radiate blue at certain angles and lighting. Male Green-throated Carib and Green Mango can also appear entirely green, however both are larger, with longer and strongly curved bills. The female Puerto Rican Emerald is metallic green above, dingy white below, and has a relatively long, forked tail. Its face is typically blackish with a small white spot behind the eye. The similar Antillean Crested Hummingbird has a shorter bill, lacks the black in face and the spot behind the eye, and it has a rounded tail. The emerald's song is a rapid twittering and the common call is a high thin metallic "tsip" given singly or in series.

Sanford's Sea-Eagle
Icthyophaga sanfordi
A large, dark russet-colored eagle with a much paler creamy-white head, a distinctive dark eye-line, and a massive bill. In flight, very broad wings and diamond-shaped tail are obvious. Found from sea level to 1500 meters of elevation, preferring coastal areas. Most similar to juvenile White-bellied Sea-Eagle, but Sanford’s is more uniformly rufous, with the combination of a pale head and dark tail being diagnostic. Voice described as a high-pitched, honking “ya-ya-ya…”
Hooded Tanager
Nemosia pileata
Small tanager found in semiopen woodlands, savannas, and pastures with scattered trees often in association with mixed-species flocks. In males note the yellow eyes contrasting with its black hood and white forehead. Otherwise mostly gray above and white below. Females lack the black cap and have a bicolored bill, which is all black in males, and generally look duller overall.
White-throated Spadebill
Platyrinchus mystaceus
Tiny bird of forest undergrowth, named for exceptionally broad bill (difficult to see). Very small and short-tailed. Brown above and pale below, with black pattern on cheek. Yellow crown difficult to see. Sexes alike. Gives a single squeaky call and an ascending trill. Usually seen singly or in pairs, always in the lower levels of the forest. Inconspicuous.
