Scientific Name:
Setophaga townsendi
Description
Adult males have a black eye patch, surrounded by yellow. They look like they are wearing a black mask, whereas the female's mask is grayer and their chins are more yellow. Both have streaked gray and yellow chests.
Behaviors
Townsend's warblers bounce around in the conifer forest and chaparral singing away through the foliage, foraging on adult insects and larvae. They pair up in the spring and build a nest that will hold 3-7 eggs. You might see these at your home garden, if you are feeding with suet.
