Black-throated Blue Warbler

Adult males have white underparts with black throat, face and flanks; the upperparts are deep blue; immature males are similar with upperparts more greenish. Females have olive-brown upperparts and light yellow underparts with darker wings and tail, a grey crown and a brown patch on the cheek. All birds have a small white wing patch which is not always visible, and a thin pointed bill. Like many warblers, this bird has colorful plumage during the spring and summer, but its fall plumage is drab and less distinctive. In the fall, it can still be identified from other similar warblers by its small white wing patch.

The Black-throated Blue Warbler is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

The Black-throated Blue Warbler is one of the 115 or so species of warblers that occur in the Americas. This species is a medium to long distance migrant that travels from its home range in Cuba, the Bahama Islands and other islands of the Caribbean to the eastern US and Canada to nest and raise one and sometimes two broods. The male Black-throated Blue Warbler is an attractive bird about 4.5 to 5.5 inches long and with a wingspan of from 7 to 8 inches. More

Habitat: Black-throated Blue Warblers breed in large tracks of mature deciduous and mixed forest, with a dense understory, often in mountainous terrain. During migration, they can be found in a variety of forest habitats including forest edge and suburban environments. Diet: Primarily insects, but also some small fruits. Nesting and reproduction: Males occasionally have two mates within their territory. Females are known to sometimes raise 2 broods within a season. Clutch Size: 3 to 4 eggs. More

Wintering Black-throated Blue Warblers are frequently found on coffee farms, with studies noting them using these plantations in Jamaica, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Chiapas, Mexico. These studies often note that Black-throated Blue Warblers are one of the most common migrants found on the farms. While wintering in coffee farms, Black-throated Blue Warblers consume primarily small insects, many of which are coffee pests. In Jamaica, Black-throated Blues were the number one predator recorded on the dreaded coffee berry borer. More

The Black-throated Blue Warbler is a small songbird native to eastern North America, and is rarely seen in western Europe. These birds breed in deciduous and mixed woodlands, and build their nests in thick shrubs, near to the ground. In the winter, they will migrate to the Caribbean islands and Central America. They are very territorial for nesting and migratory sites within the species. More

The Black-throated Blue Warbler is a fairly common bird of hardwood and mixed deciduous-coniferous woodlands in the northeastern United States and southern Canada, as well as the Appalachian Mountains all the way south to northern Georgia. Considered a forest-interior species, large-scale clearing of forests over the last 300 years likely has impacted population levels, although Breeding Bird Survey data shows stable population trends for the last thirty years. Future deforestation on its Caribbean wintering grounds will likely impact this species. More

the black-throated blue warbler (Dendroica caerulescens), is regulated by multiple density-dependence mechanisms on its breeding quarters. Project description: We are investigating the factors that determine the size of migratory songbird populations. Our focal species for this research is the black-throated blue warbler (Dendroica caerulescens). What is Population Regulation? Scientists have long been interested in how animal populations are controlled, or regulated. More

The Black-throated Blue Warbler inhabits large tracts of relatively undisturbed hardwood and mixed deciduous-coniferous forests in the northeastern United States and southern Canada, southward along the higher elevations of the Appalachian Mountains to northern Georgia. Most individuals migrate along the eastern seaboard from the Atlantic coast to and including the Appalachians, and most winter in forested habitats of the Greater Antilles—from Puerto Rico to Cuba, Jamaica, and Hispaniola—with some in the Bahamas and a few along the Yucatan coast and Belize.
