Spotted
The Northern Parula is a tiny, colorful warbler with a blue-gray back, olive-green patch on the back, yellow throat and breast, and a distinctive broken eye-ring. Males have a rusty and black breast band.
Where to spot
Breeds across eastern North America, from southern Canada to the Gulf Coast. Winters in Florida, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean.
How to spot
Look in deciduous or mixed forests with mature trees, especially near water. Search for hanging moss or lichens. Listen for its buzzy, ascending trill that ends abruptly with a sharp "zzzzzzzt."
When to spot
Best observed during spring (April-May) and fall (August-September) migration, often in taller trees. Present on breeding grounds in summer.

This warbler often uses hanging clumps of lichen (especially Usnea lichen or "Old Man's Beard") or Spanish moss for nesting material, building its nest deep within these plant structures.
