Bay-breasted Warbler

Setophaga subita

The Bay-breasted Warbler is a small songbird known for its distinctive breeding plumage, which includes chestnut-colored crown and flanks, and a greenish back. During migration and winter, it exhibits a more subdued plumage. This warbler is known for its high-pitched, buzzy song and can be found foraging for insects in the upper canopy of boreal and mixed forests. It breeds in North America and migrates to Central and South America during the non-breeding season. Its population is currently stable, but it faces threats from habitat loss and climate change.

Habitat: Boreal and mixed forests
