About These Birds
Black-faced Grassquit
The Black-faced Grassquit is a small, chunky finch; males are largely black with olive-green upperwings, while females are dull olive-brown. It inhabits open grassy areas, scrublands, gardens, and coastal vegetation throughout the Caribbean and parts of northern South America. It feeds almost entirely on small grass seeds, sometimes supplemented by small insects.
