Townsends Warbler
Townsend's Warbler is a vibrant songbird native to the forests of western North America. Males are easily recognizable by their striking black and yellow face patterns, olive-green upperparts, and yellow underparts with black streaks on the flanks. Females and juveniles have more muted colors but retain the distinctive facial markings. These warblers inhabit coniferous forests, where they forage for insects and spiders among the foliage. During migration, they travel to Mexico and Central America, highlighting their impressive adaptability. Townsend's Warbler's bright colors and cheerful song make it a favorite among birdwatchers.
