Audubon's warbler

Description:

This medium warbler is dark-streaked with blue-gray upperparts, yellow rump and throat. White belly, breast white and black streaked, yellow patches on the sides. Head is dark blue-gray with yellow crown, black lores, white lower and upper eye crescents. Dark wings with white-edged coverts. Tail is dark with white corners.

Habitat:

Spotted in a open pine forest. Audubon's warbler has a westerly distribution. It breeds in much of western Canada, the western United States, and into Mexico. It is migratory, wintering from the southern parts of the breeding range into western Central America.

Notes:

Able to digest 80% of wax-coated berries such as bayberries, the Yellow-rumped Warbler is capable of wintering farther north than any other warbler.
