The Titmouse Warbler Northern Parula
>> YOUR LINK HERE: ___ http://youtube.com/watch?v=EZOndM87jCA
Scientific Name: Setophaga americana • Population: 18 million • Trend: Increasing • Habitat: Breeds in eastern deciduous and coniferous forests, often close to water. Winters in forest, scrub habitat, and coffee, cacao, and citrus farms. • You’ll hear birders say, “Look, there’s a Northern ‘Pa-RU-la,’ or ‘PAIR-a-la,’ or ‘PAR-ya-la.’” No matter how it is pronounced, the Northern Parula is a beautiful and easily recognized wood-warbler, if you crane your neck enough to see it cruise the treetops. • Found primarily in the East from spring through fall, this 4.5-inch-long songbird has a short tail, blue-gray head, and unstreaked, bright yellow chin and breast that contrast its whitish belly and flanks. Also note its unusual bright white — but short — wingbars, and the white arcs above and below the eyes. If you see the top side of this bird, you’ll see another good field mark — the olive-green back patch. • The adult male has a bold and distinctive chestnut-and-black breast band. Female parulas have coloration that is more muted, more gray than blue, and they lack the breast band. First-year birds resemble females but are more greenish on their upperparts. • Learn more: https://abcbirds.org/bird/northern-pa... • Video by Daniel Jauvin/Macaulay Library at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (348857731)
