Orange-crowned Warbler
The Orange-crowned Warbler is found across lower Canada (except for lower Ontario) and from Alaska south to Texas and northern Mexico along the Gulf Coast. In most of the eastern U.S.A. and southern Ontario it is a rather rare migrant.
Despite its common name, its 'orange crown' rarely shows. It is a rather plain olive-green with vague streaking and a yellow tinge on its breast. It has no wing bars or eyebrows. Its voice is a sweet, high trill.
Its normal habitat is brushy woodlands and thickets, but will occasionally forage in treetops. Its nest is usually concealed on the ground under a bush or in a low thicket close to the ground. It generally feeds on low branches and often in dead leaf clumps.
