Colima Warbler

Leiothlypis crissalis

The Colima Warbler is a small songbird found in the mountains of Mexico and the southwestern United States. It is known for its distinctive song and preference for high-elevation pine-oak forests. This warbler is olive-green above with a yellow throat and belly, and it has a thin, pointed bill. It forages for insects and spiders in the canopy and understory of its forest habitat. The species is known for its unique nesting behavior, often building nests on the ground under rocks or fallen logs. Climate change and habitat loss due to logging are major threats to the Colima Warbler's population.
