Jilguerito Dominico

Especies Regionales

Ruidosas nubes amarillas, verdes y negras de Jilgueritos Dominicos, se reúnen en hábitats con abundantes robles, álamos de Virginia y sauces, o visitan jardines en áreas suburbanas en búsqueda de semillas y agua. Estos pinzones comen principalmente semillas de plantas de la familia de los girasoles, y suelen verse en todo el sur y más allá, incluso llegando a los Andes Peruanos. Escucha detenidamente su ruidoso canto y notarás que tiene características similares al de otras aves.

Hábitat

El Jilguerito Dominico tiene su hogar en diversos tipos de hábitats. Desde el oeste de los Estados Unidos a Sudamérica, esta ave canora suele verse en matorrales, campos de maleza, bosques, claros de bosque, espesuras de arbustos, cultivos, e incluso oasis en el desierto. También puedes verlas en parques y jardines, tanto en áreas urbanas como suburbanas. Algunos de los hábitats más comunes a lo largo del oeste de Estados Unidos incluyen: robles, pinos piñoneros y juníperos, álamos de Virginia, sauces, cedros, bosques de pinos, y también chaparrales.

Alimentación

El Jilguerito Dominico se alimenta principalmente de semillas de plantas de la familia de los girasoles (Asteráceas, o Compuestas), aunque también come bayas de café y frutos del saúco y del madroño, además de brotes de Álamos de Virginia, alisos, sicomoros, sauces y robles. Se alimentan en pequeños grupos moviéndose entre la maleza baja, para obtener semillas, brotes, flores o frutos. El cardo de la arzolla también es uno de sus alimentos principales. Para comer las semillas, el Jilguerito Dominico abre y mete su pico dentro de la cubierta de los granos, después sacude su cabeza para soltar el interior, y luego traga la semilla. Al igual que el Jilguerito Canario, se posa sobre el bulbo de plantas altas, lo que va doblando el tallo hacia el suelo, y queda finalmente cabeza abajo mientras picotea las semillas. Ocasionalmente complementa su dieta con insectos, por ejemplo: piojos de las plantas.

Comportamiento

El Jilguerito Dominico es un ave pequeña e intrépida, que anda por ahí revoloteando y moviendo su cola mientras se alimenta; tiene el mismo vuelo oscilante del Jilguerito Canario. Además, y al igual que el resto de los dominicos, es un ave agregaría, que se reúne en bandadas para alimentarse y tomar agua de los pozos. Durante la temporada de reproducción, el macho marca su territorio haciendo llamados y cantando en la copa de árboles altos, y luego inicia llamados de cortejo para atraer a una hembra a su territorio. Cuando ésta llega, el macho la persigue en vuelo mientras ambos van a gran velocidad por entre el follaje. A veces se posan en la misma rama haciendo poses de cortejo, estirando su cuello el uno al otro para tocar sus picos, y cantando suavemente. Luego de algunos días, el macho empieza a alimentar a la hembra, traspasándole todo lo que va recolectando en su pico; el macho sigue alimentando a la hembra durante la incubación.

Anidación

La hembra construye gran parte del nido en 4 a 8 días, mientras que el macho se queda cerca vigilando. La hembra, parte recolectando con su pico materiales como ramas, corteza, racimos, capullos y telas de araña. Luego teje estos materiales para construir una copa, la cual reviste con pelo, plumas, lana, pelo de conejo, o fibras de algodón. Esto forma una densa copa de aproximadamente 3 pulgadas (7.5 cm) de ancho y una pulgada (2.5 cm) de profundidad.

Fotos de la Especie

Especies Parecidas

Los Jilgueritos Dominicos son levemente más pequeños que los Jilgueritos Canarios. Los machos pueden diferenciarse por la gorra completamente negra, y la espalda negra o verde, del Jilguerito Dominico. Las hembras son más difíciles de distinguir; deberás fijarte en las puntas negras de la cola y el pico oscuro en el Jilguerito Dominico. Por el contrario, las hembras de Jilguerito Canario tienen mucho más blanco en la cola y el pico rosado. El Jilguerito de Cara Negra, en California y en el suroeste, es de cuerpo gris con mucho más amarillo en las alas, los machos tienen la cara negra, y ambos sexos tienen parches amarillos en el pecho. El Jilguerito Pinero por su parte, es mucho menos amarillo, y es rayado completamente con un llamativo café. El Picogrueso Norteño es casi el doble más grande que el Jilguerito Dominico, y tiene un pico mucho más delgado y pálido.

¿Sabías que…?

  • En la parte este de su rango de distribución en los Estados Unidos, los machos Jilgueritos Dominicos tienden a tener la espalda negra, mientras que en la costa oeste, la espalda es verde y solo la gorra es negra. En cualquier otro lugar, la cantidad de negro es variable y puede haber aves con la espalda parcialmente verde; al sur del centro de México todos los machos son de espalda negra.
  • Los Jilgueritos Dominicos son más comunes en California y Texas. En el resto de su rango de distribución en los Estados Unidos, solo hay un puñado de poblaciones locales.
