Turdus swalesi is endemic to Hispaniola (
Haiti and the
Dominican Republic). It can be locally fairly common, but is now mostly restricted to isolated habitat patches (S. Latta
in litt. 1998). The nominate race occurs in the Massif de la Selle, Haiti, and Sierra de Baoruco, Dominican Republic. The race
dodae occurs in the Sierra de Neiba and Cordillera Central, Dominican Republic. It was formerly common in La Visite National Park, Haiti, and appears still to occur at higher densities in the Massif de la Selle than elsewhere within its range (Dávalos and Brooks 2001).
