Spotted
The Golden-winged Warbler is a small, elegant warbler known for its striking gray body, white belly, black throat and eye mask, and bright yellow wing patch. Females are similar but duller.
Where to spot
Breeds in northeastern and north-central North America. Winters in Central America and northern South America, particularly in Colombia and Venezuela.
How to spot
Look in shrubby wetlands, abandoned fields, and young deciduous forests with scattered trees. Listen for its distinctive buzzy "bzz-bzz-bzz-bzz" song, often described as "bee-bzz-bzz-bzz."
When to spot
Best observed during the breeding season (late May to July) in its specific scrubby, early-successional habitats. Spring (April-May) and fall (August-October) migration offer additional opportunities.

This species is famous for hybridizing with the Blue-winged Warbler, producing "Brewster's Warbler" (dominant white face, yellow wing bars) and "Lawrence's Warbler" (yellow body, black face/throat), which are often mistaken for distinct species.
