One of my favorite species in the Dominican Republic is the Broad-billed Tody (Todus subulatus). It is one of two endemic Tody species here in the DR, the Narrow-billed Tody being the second. It is a very small bird with a large head and a long bill, a very short/rapid flight, seen most often in the low to mid story. Its nest is a small burrow usually dug along short, muddy embankments. Many of these burrows I’ve found have also not been far from human establishments (i.e. roads, trails, houses, etc.)
