Endemic to Puerto Rico, <\/strong>where it is a highly localized resident of wet montane forests.\u00a0 Currently known only from Maricao State Forest in the southwest, and El Yunque National Forest in the northeast.\u00a0 Occurs in both cloud forest and adjacent forest types.<\/p>

The most recent population estimates before Hurricane Mar\u00eda were 2,000 in and around Maricao and 700 in and around El Yunque (where its numbers had declined since previous surveys).\u00a0 Post-Mar\u00eda, its status at El Yunque is uncertain, but it remains common at Maricao.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
