Vitelline Warbler

Setophaga vitellina

The Vitelline Warbler is a small, neotropical migratory bird known for its bright yellow underparts and olive-green upperparts. It is often found in the understory of montane and foothill forests, where it forages for insects and spiders. This warbler is known for its distinctive song, a series of high-pitched notes that echo through the forest. It breeds in highland regions of South America and migrates to lower elevations during the non-breeding season. The Vitelline Warbler faces threats from habitat loss and fragmentation, but its population status is not well-documented.

Habitat: Montane and foothill forests
