About the St. Lucia Oriole

The Saint Lucia oriole (Icterus laudablis) is a species of songbird endemic to Saint Lucia. Locally known as the Corouge, it is in the family Icteridae and the genus Icterus (or New World orioles). Due to human development, this species of Oriole (a long with many others in the Caribbean) has seen significant population decline due to invasive species and habitat loss. St. Lucia orioles are endemic to, and exclusively found on the main island of St. Lucia located in the Lesser Antilles. The Saint Lucia Oriole does not migrate. They are the only resident orioles on the island, however, Baltimore and Orchard orioles may be found in the region as vagrants.
