Not yet spotted on Fladder

The Wilson's Warbler is a small, energetic warbler, easily recognized by its bright yellow plumage and, in males, a distinct black cap. It's a common inhabitant of dense, shrubby habitats.

Where to spot

Breeds across Canada and parts of the western and northeastern United States; winters from Mexico and Central America south to northern South America.

How to spot

Scan low, dense thickets and willows, as they typically forage in the lower to middle strata of vegetation. Listen for their rapid, chattering song, which sounds like "chi-chi-chi-chi-CHEW."

When to spot

Visible during breeding season in summer (May-July) in northern regions, and during migration (April-May, August-October) across its migratory routes. Winter residents are present from October to April in their southern range.

Male Wilson's Warblers use their prominent black caps in territorial displays, often raising the feathers to emphasize this striking feature during interactions with rivals.
