Spotted
The Connecticut Warbler is a secretive, ground-dwelling warbler with olive-green upperparts, dull yellow underparts, and a prominent gray hood extending down to the breast in males. It has a distinctive eye-ring.
Where to spot
Breeds in the boreal forests of central Canada and the northern United States (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan). Winters in northern South America, primarily in the Amazon Basin.
How to spot
Look in bogs, tamarack swamps, and dense, moist second-growth forests. It walks rather than hops, often foraging on the ground. Listen for its loud, ringing "chur-ple-chur-ple-chur-ple" song.
When to spot
Extremely difficult to find on breeding grounds. Best chances during spring (May-early June) migration in central North America, and fall (September-October) migration, especially along the Atlantic coast.

This species is one of the most enigmatic North American warblers due to its secretive habits, preference for dense, boggy habitats, and an unusual migratory loop that takes it to the Atlantic coast in fall.
