The Orange-crowned Warbler is a relatively drab but widespread warbler, with olive-green plumage, a faint streaking on its underparts, and a subtle orange crown patch that is often hard to see.
Where to spot
Breeds across most of Canada and the western United States, extending eastward in parts of the Great Lakes region. Winters across the southern U.S., Mexico, and Central America.
How to spot
Look in scrubby areas, forest edges, and riparian thickets. The orange crown is rarely visible without a good view. Listen for its trilling song that typically drops in pitch at the end.
When to spot
Can be observed during spring (April-May) and fall (August-October) migration across its vast range. Present on breeding grounds in summer and wintering grounds in winter.

It is one of the hardiest North American warblers, often wintering further north than most other species and being among the first to arrive on its breeding grounds in spring.
