Arrowhead Warbler
Setophaga pharetra (Gosse, 1847)
Parulidae — New World Warblers
Arrowhead Warbler, Setophaga pharetra, is a New World warbler that breeds in Jamaica. It is a passerine in the family Parulidae and is endemic to the island. First described by Gosse in 1847, it is the only member of its kind. It lives in humid montane forest, and also uses humid lowland forest outside the breeding season. The bird is found year-round in montane forest, with some individuals moving to lower ground when not breeding. Its breeding period is mainly from March to June, though nesting has also been recorded in November after autumn rains.
