The Olive Warbler is a unique North American songbird, being the only member of its own family, Peucedramidae. It is characterized by its grayish-olive plumage, white wing-bars, and a distinctive orange or yellow head.
Where to spot
Found in montane coniferous forests in the southwestern United States (Arizona, New Mexico) and through Mexico and parts of Central America.
How to spot
Look for it foraging actively in the mid-canopy of conifers. Listen for its simple, buzzy song, often described as 'zee-zee-zee-zur-zee'. Binoculars are helpful for observing its subtle features.
When to spot
Year-round in parts of its range, migratory in others. Best observed during the breeding season (spring-summer) in its northern range, when males are vocal and active.

Despite its common name and superficial resemblance to true warblers (family Parulidae), genetic studies have shown the Olive Warbler to be distantly related, earning it its own monotypic family.
