- Abstract
We report two Lazuli Buntings (Passerina amoena) captured in Cuba; these constitute the second and third records for the island and entire West Indies. We also report the first-time occurrence of several free-living exotic birds in Cuba, based on captures by local bird trappers: White-eared Bulbul (Pycnonotus leucotis), Red-faced Liocichla (Liocichla phoenicea), Redbilled Leiothrix (Leiothrix lutea), Crested Myna (Acridotheres cristatellus), Yellow-mantled Widowbird (Euplectes macroura), and White-winged Snowfinch (Montifringilla nivalis). We suggest possible sources and agents of transport for some of these species. Further, we alert the conservation community to potential risks, should any of these species become established.
