Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forest and subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest.
Conservation[]
Unlike the related and sympatric bay-breasted cuckoo (C. rufigularis), the Hispaniolan lizard cuckoo is ubiquitous throughout Hispaniola and seems to be very common; sightings are widespread in both countries of the island. It has been rated "Least Concern" by the IUCN.
