The golden swallow (Tachycineta euchrysea) is an aerial insectivore and obligate secondary cavity nester endemic to the Caribbean islands of Jamaica and Hispaniola. The declining Hispaniolan subspecies (T. e. sclateri) is estimated at 1500 – 7000 individuals and the population is categorized as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. The nominate race on Jamaica (T. e. euchrysea) has not been unequivocally observed since the early 1980s. Extensive surveys targeting the subspecies were conducted between 1994 and 2015. No golden swallows were observed. Despite the infinitesimal probability that a relict population persists undetected, there is strong evidence that the Jamaican Golden Swallow is extinct.
