The Martinique Oriole(Icterus bonana)is the only bird strictly endemic to Martinique. Easily recognizable thanks to its black and tan orange plumage, it belongs to the blackbird family. Other birds are endemic to the Lesser Antilles, that is, they are found in other neighboring islands. This is the case of the White-throated hummingbird(Ramphocinclus brachyurus) which lives on the Caravelle peninsula and the Blue-headed hummingbird(Riccordia bicolor). This is the rarest of the 4 hummingbirds present in our country, it can be observed on the massifs of Mount Pelee and the Pitons of Carbet.
