Nashville Warbler

Leiothlypis ruficapilla

The Nashville Warbler is a small, active songbird with a distinctive olive-green back, yellow throat, and white eye ring. It breeds in the boreal forests of North America and migrates to Central America for the winter. This warbler forages for insects and spiders in the understory of mixed woodlands, often flicking its wings and tail while moving through the foliage. Its song is a series of high, thin notes. The Nashville Warbler is known for its rapid and agile movements as it searches for food and builds its cup-shaped nest on the ground or in low shrubs. It is a delightful sight for birdwatchers in its breeding range.

Habitat: Boreal forests and mixed woodlands
