Black-crested Warbler

Myiothlypis nigrocristata

The Black-crested Warbler, scientifically known as Myiothlypis nigrocristata, is a small passerine bird found in the highland forests of Central and South America. It is characterized by its black crest, yellow underparts, and olive-green upperparts. This warbler is known for its melodious and varied song, often heard in the dense foliage of its forest habitat. It forages for insects and small invertebrates in the canopy and understory, displaying agile and acrobatic movements. The Black-crested Warbler is not currently considered to be at risk, but its habitat is threatened by deforestation and habitat loss.
