Northern Parula
Setophaga americana
An adult Northern Parula is a small canopy warbler of mature eastern forests, especially places with hanging moss, lichens, or dense epiphytes for nesting. It actively gleans insects, spiders, and other tiny arthropods from leaves and twig tips, often hovering briefly to reach prey. Males sing buzzy rising trills from the canopy during the breeding season. Its compact body, pointed bill, and restless flight make it one of the more agile insect-hunting warblers.
