Spotted
The Cape May Warbler is a distinctive and often vibrant warbler. Breeding males have a bright yellow rump, streaked back, yellow throat, chestnut ear patches, and bold black streaking on yellow underparts.
Where to spot
Breeds across the boreal forests of Canada and the northeastern United States. Winters in the West Indies (Caribbean).
How to spot
Look in coniferous or mixed forests, particularly spruce and fir. On migration, found in varied woodlands. Listen for its very high-pitched, thin, and often hard-to-hear song, a rapid series of "tseet" notes.
When to spot
Best observed during spring (May) and fall (September-October) migration, when it can be found in various wooded habitats. Present on breeding grounds in summer.

This warbler is known for its ability to extract nectar from flowers with its semi-tubular tongue, a behavior unusual for a warbler, often supplementing its insect diet, especially on migration.
