Virginia's Warbler is a small, rather plain warbler, grayish overall with a pale eye-ring, a small yellow patch on its breast, and a faint yellow rump. Males also have a hidden reddish-brown crown patch.
Where to spot
Breeds in the southwestern United States (Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Nevada) and parts of northern Mexico. Winters in western Mexico.
How to spot
Look in dry, open pinyon-juniper, oak, or mixed conifer woodlands. It often forages low in shrubs or on the ground. Listen for its distinctive, rather buzzy song, which often accelerates and then drops in pitch.
When to spot
Best observed on its breeding grounds from late spring to early summer. Arrives in its breeding range in April and departs by September.

This warbler is named after Virginia Anderson, the daughter of an army surgeon who collected the first specimen. Its subtle coloration makes it easily overlooked unless singing.
