Blackburnian Warbler
Setophaga fusca
An adult Blackburnian Warbler breeds mainly in mature coniferous and mixed forests, often foraging high in the canopy. It eats insects, spiders, and many caterpillars by gleaning from foliage, hovering briefly, or making short aerial sallies. The male is famous for its brilliant flame-orange throat, one of the brightest field marks among North American warblers. After breeding, it migrates long distances to wintering forests in Central and northern South America.
