Blue-winged Warbler

The tiny Blue-Winged Warbler has a bright yellow head and underparts. Its back is olive and it has blue-gray wings and tail. There are conspicuous white wing bars on the wings. Blue Winged Warblers have a black streak that runs from the eyes to the bill. The female looks like a duller version of the male. Blue Winged and Golden Winged Warblers often hybridize, producing the rare Brewster's and Lawrence's Warblers. Both hybirds are prized sightings for serious birdwatchers.

The Blue-Winged Warbler can be found in low heights of the canopy, or on conspicuous perches singing its distinctive buzzy trill. Scientists believe the Blue-Winged Warbler is slowly overtaking the range of the Golden-Winged Warbler. It is typically found in the dense undergrowth of deciduous and semi-open forests, field edges.
