Two nests of Bananaquit (Coereba flaveola) were observed in man-made objects in a suburban area of Jarabacoa, Dominican Republic. The nests were located at the base of rustic pendant lights made of metal, placed on a second-floor terrace of an inhabited dwelling. One nest contained three chicks, while the other was empty. An adult made several approaches to the breeding nest to feed the chicks, despite the presence of people nearby. The selection of these nesting sites is probably due to protection against adverse environmental conditions and predators, since both were located under a roof.
