Shade Coffee Birds  

Birds Found in Shade Coffee Plantations

Shade coffee plantations provide habitat for dozens of species of birds that summer in North America and migrate south to Central America and South America in the fall.

These species travel along flyways in both Eastern and Western North America, and are commonly seen in the spring and fall during their long migration, and during the summer in their northern breeding grounds. 

These neotropical migrants, as well as a multitude of native and endemic species in Central and South America, call shade coffee plantations home.
