Hooded warbler

Description:

This bird breeds in eastern North America and across the eastern USA and into southernmost Canada, wintering in Central America and the West Indies. Males have distinctive black hoods which surround their yellow faces; the female has an olive-green cap which does not extend to the forehead, ears and throat instead. Males attain their hood at about 9–12 months of age; younger birds are essentially identical to (and easily confused with) females.

Habitat:

Seen at the Jardín Botánico in quite dark undergrowth
