Cuban solitaire, also known as the Cuban nightingale, perched and singing
The Cuban solitaire (Myadestes elisabeth), also known as the Cuban nightingale, is a species of bird in the family Turdidae. It is endemic to Cuba. Its natural habitat is montane moist forests. It is threatened by habitat loss. A strict Cuban endemic, the Cuban Solitaire ‘makes up’ for its drab, unassuming, generally olivaceous brown plumage by its remarkable voice, and it is usually considered the most accomplished songster in the country.
