Corvus leucognaphalus is now confined to
Haiti, the
Dominican Republic and the offshore islands of Gonâve, Saona and Vache (Raffaele
et al. 1998, T. Brooks
in litt. 2000)
. It was once abundant on Puerto Rico (to USA), but was last recorded there in 1977 (R. Rodriguez
in litt. 2007)
. On Hispaniola, it was considered locally common even in the early 1980s, but there has been a subsequent population decline (to less than 10,000 individuals) and range contraction. Sizeable populations are now restricted to Los Haitises and Jaragua National Parks, and the Sierra de Baoruco in the Dominican Republic, and it remains quite common on Île-à-Vache (T. Brooks
in litt. 2000)
