 Icterids such as the Carib grackle ("Quiscalus lugubris") and the shiny cowbird ("Molothrus bonariensis"), which often parasitizes the nests of the former species, are quite common.Seedeaters include the black-faced grassquit ("Tiaris bicolor") and the grassland yellow finch ("Sicalis luteola"), known locally as the "grass canary".Introduced from South America the grassland yellow finch is now faced with extirpation due to poaching for the pet trade.
