Golden-crowned Warbler

Basileuterus culicivorus

The Golden-crowned Warbler is a small Neotropical songbird known for its distinctive golden crown and olive-green upperparts. This species is found in humid forests, often near water, across Central and South America. It forages for insects and spiders in the understory and lower canopy, and its song is a series of high-pitched notes. The Golden-crowned Warbler is known for its migratory behavior, with populations moving seasonally to breed and winter. While not currently considered at risk, habitat loss and fragmentation are potential threats to this species.

Habitat: Humid forests near water
