Elfin-woods Warbler

Setophaga angelae

The Elfin-woods Warbler is a small, insectivorous bird found in the montane forests of Puerto Rico. It is characterized by its striking black and white plumage with a distinctive yellow patch on its head. This species is known for its acrobatic foraging behavior, often flitting from branch to branch in search of insects. The Elfin-woods Warbler is highly territorial during the breeding season and is known for its complex song, which is used to defend its territory and attract mates. Due to habitat loss and degradation, this species is considered vulnerable to extinction.
