The Hooded Warbler is a beautiful and active warbler, famous for the male's brilliant yellow face encircled by a distinct black hood. Females are similar but with a much reduced or absent hood.
Where to spot
Breeds in the eastern United States and southeastern Canada. Winters from Mexico south through Central America to northern South America.
How to spot
Look in mature deciduous forests with a dense understory, often near streams or ravines. Listen for its loud, ringing "weeta-weeta-wee-tee-o" song. Watch for its tail-fanning behavior.
When to spot
Best observed during the breeding season (late spring to summer) when males are highly vocal. Also seen during spring (April-May) and fall (August-September) migration.

This warbler is known for its habit of fanning its white outer tail feathers while foraging, flashing them open and closed, which is thought to startle insects into revealing themselves.
