Tennessee Warbler

Leiothlypis peregrina

The Tennessee Warbler is a small, migratory songbird found in North America. During the breeding season, it inhabits coniferous forests in Canada and the northern United States. This warbler is known for its olive-green upperparts, white underparts, and a distinct white eye ring. It forages actively for insects and spiders in the canopy of trees, often hovering to catch its prey. During migration, it can be found in a variety of wooded habitats. The Tennessee Warbler is known for its high-pitched, buzzy song that it sings from the treetops. Despite its small size, this warbler undertakes a remarkable long-distance migration to winter in Central and South America.
