Townsend's Warblers wintering in Central American cloud forests feed on honeydew, a sugary liquid excreted by insects. Vocalization of Townsend's Warbler temporarily unavailable during the move to our new building. Please check back in April 2003. Strikingly arrayed in black, yellow, white, and olive-green, Townsend's Warblers are arguably among the most beautiful birds of western North America. In winter, they are relatively common and easily seen on the coasts of Oregon and especially California. More

Townsend's Warblers are primarily birds of coniferous forests, especially mature, dense stands of at least 20 acres. They are more common in the mountains, but also breed in some lowland areas. During winter, they can be found in deciduous forests as well. back to top Behavior - Outside of the breeding season, Townsend's Warblers can often be found in mixed flocks with chickadees, kinglets, and other warblers, or rarely in single-species flocks of Townsend's Warblers.

hybridize regularly with Townsend's Warbler (Jewett 1944; Morrison and Hardy 1983; Dunn and Garrett 1997; Rohwer and Wood 1998). Such hybrids are sometimes referred to as 'Heto Warblers' (Eckert 2001). There is at least one example of vagrancy by hybrids into eastern North America, a bird that reached Newfoundland (Mactavish 1996). A detailed study of birds from hybrid zones by Sievert Rohwer and Chris Wood (1998) indicates a high degree of individual variation, presumably reflecting different degrees backcrossing. More

very good numbers of Townsend's Warblers foraging quite low in bushes and shrubs, and sometimes even on the ground. Breeding: Non-breeder in South Dakota Song: Fast series of buzzy thin notes, variable but usually rising in tone. Migration: Neotropical migrant. Summers along in forests of the Pacific Northwest, western Canada, and southern Alaska. Primarily winters in Mexico and Central America, but some can be found near the U.S. Pacific coast. More

Townsend's Warblers are arguably among the most beautiful birds of western North America. In winter, they are relatively common and easily seen on the coasts of Oregon and especially California. Despite their familiarity, however, Townsend's Warblers remain something of a biological enigma, as many aspects of their behavior and population dynamics remain undescribed. Townsend's Warblers breed in mature coniferous and mixed forests. More

Townsend's WarblerIdentification The Townsend's Warbler (Dendroica townsendi) is, to say the least, one of the more striking winter birds seen in Big Sur. The yellow of its flanks, breast, and much of its head is the brightness of an egg yolk, and contrasts nicely with the mossy olive-green of its back. Like many Dendroica warblers, Townsend's Warblers show a flash of white in the rectrices (tail feathers). More
