- Lives only on San Cristóbal and Isla Pitt, a small islet adjacent to the east end of San Cristóbal
- Does not maintain territories in all habitats on the island. Absent from woodland habitat.
- Quite shy in comparison with other mockingbirds in the archipelago
- Nests placed higher in trees than on other islands, possibly in reponse to predation threat from black rats and cats
- Not known to brred cooperatively. Territories occupied by simple pairs, sometimes accompanied by at most one additional adult; extra birds disperse readily into unoccupied habitat (Curry 1989).
