Bahama Warbler

Setophaga flavescens

The Bahama Warbler (Setophaga flavescens) is a small songbird found in the pine forests of the Bahamas. It has a distinctive yellowish plumage with a black crown, white throat, and black streaks on its sides. This warbler is known for its melodious song and active foraging behavior, often seen flitting among the pine branches in search of insects. It builds cup-shaped nests in the pine trees and is a year-round resident of the Bahamian pine forests. The Bahama Warbler is considered a vulnerable species due to habitat loss and fragmentation.
