WThe golden swallow is a passerine in the swallow family, Hirundinidae. Two subspecies are recognised, the extinct Jamaican golden swallow and T. e. sclateri of Hispaniola. It usually inhabits the hills on the interior of islands, preferring open country. Currently, this swallow is restricted to isolated montane forests that primarily consist of the Hispaniolan pine. This species is considered to be a vulnerable species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN); the nominate subspecies, T. e. euchrysea, is extinct. The exact cause of extinction is unknown, but likely factors include predation by introduced mammals and habitat loss, although the habitat loss theory is not supported by much evidence. The last sighting of the nominate subspecies was in Hardwar Gap, with three birds being seen on 8 June 1989.
