Winter 2017
I recently took part of my winter break to return to the Dominican Republic and see what the todies are doing now. Similar to many of the temperate birds, todies only breed once a year. However, something very interesting I noted
About This Project
The family Todidae is endemic to the Greater Antilles. Hispaniola is the only island that hosts multiple tody species: the Broad-billed Tody and Narrow-billed Tody. Ornithologists know almost nothing about these two species. We aim to study behavioral interactions between the species, and to investigate whether they are hybridizing. We are also interested in the possibility that tody geographic distributions and interbreeding might be influenced by climate change.
