Situated in the southwest near the Haitian border, Sierra de Bahoruco National Park is 320 square miles and has 49 bird and 166 orchid species. This national park is an example of climatic stability in the arid southwestern portion of Hispaniola. Vegetation here ranges from the dry forest at sea level to the wet forest in the central part of the park.
Birds include the common bobwhite, stolid flycatcher, Hispaniolan lizard cuckoo and the white-necked crow, which is extinct in Puerto Rico.
