Spotted
The Mourning Warbler is a distinctive warbler known for its unmarked olive-green upperparts, bright yellow underparts, and a gray hood and breast in males. It lacks an eye-ring or eye-arc.
Where to spot
Breeds in the boreal forests and deciduous thickets of central and eastern Canada and the northeastern United States. Winters in Central America and northern South America.
How to spot
Search in dense, tangled undergrowth, clearcuts, and forest edges, especially where there's moist vegetation. It is secretive and often forages low. Listen for its rich, liquid "chirry, chirry, chirry, chur-ee" song.
When to spot
Best observed during spring (May-June) and fall (August-September) migration. Very difficult to see on breeding grounds due to dense habitat preference.

The common name "Mourning Warbler" is believed to be derived from its dark, hood-like plumage, reminiscent of a mourning veil, or potentially from its somber, flute-like song.
