The Blue-winged Warbler is a small, bright yellow warbler with greenish-blue wings, two prominent white wing bars, and a short, pointed bill. Males and females are quite similar.
Where to spot
Breeds across eastern North America, from the Great Lakes eastward. Winters in Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean.
How to spot
Look in overgrown fields, scrubby woodlands, forest edges, and regenerating clearcuts. Listen for its buzzy, ascending song: "bee-buzz." They often forage low in dense vegetation.
When to spot
Most readily observed during the breeding season (late spring to summer) when males sing. Spring (April-May) and fall (August-October) migration periods are also good.

This adaptable warbler has been expanding its breeding range northward and westward in recent decades, likely due to habitat changes and its ability to utilize a wider variety of successional habitats.
