Golden-winged Warbler

Masius chrysopterus

The Golden-winged Warbler is a small, migratory songbird known for its distinctive golden-yellow crown and wing patches. This species is often found in young, regenerating forests with dense shrub layers, where it forages for insects and spiders. The Golden-winged Warbler is known for its high-pitched, buzzy song and is a popular target for birdwatchers. Due to habitat loss and hybridization with closely related species, the population of Golden-winged Warblers has declined in recent years, leading to conservation efforts to protect its breeding and wintering grounds.

Habitat: Young, regenerating forests with dense shrub layers
