Swainson's Warbler

Limnothlypis swainsoni

Description:

A small bird with a brown back and cream belly. There is a tan stripe just above the eye on both sides of the head, and the bill is orangish-pink.

Habitat:

Found in a marshy forest. I actually had two of these about 10 ft away on either side just singing their little hearts out, battling over territory. This is an uncommon bird, and even then it is usually only heard; rarely seen.
