Spotted
The Cerulean Warbler is a small, sky-blue warbler with white underparts and a narrow black breast band in males. Females are duller, greenish-blue, with a yellowish wash. It is an upper canopy specialist.
Where to spot
Breeds in the eastern United States and southeastern Canada. Winters in northern South America, particularly in the Andean foothills.
How to spot
Focus on the upper canopy of mature deciduous forests, especially along riparian corridors. Listen for its buzzy, ascending song that often ends with a trill. Binoculars are essential.
When to spot
Best observed during the breeding season (late spring to early summer) when males are singing high in the canopy. Also seen during spring (April-May) and fall (August-September) migration.

This species typically builds its tiny, compact nest high in the canopy of tall trees, often over water, making it one of the most challenging warblers to observe during the breeding season.
