Yellow-faced Grassquit

What’s a Grassquit?

There are several types of finches and songbirds found in Jamaica (and other tropical regions in North America) with the word “quit” in them such as this Yellow-faced Grassquit, Bananaquit, Orangequit, and Yellow-shouldered Grassquit.  “Quit” is an old English term for bird – so a grassquit is a bird found in the grass.
