Black-throated Green Warbler, female
Setophaga virens
Black-throated Green Warbler · Green-Wood Cemetery · 28 September 2025
A female or immature Black-throated Green Warbler at Green-Wood at the end of September, on its way from the spruce forests of Canada to Central America and the Caribbean, mostly flown at night. The cemetery's trees are a stopover.
The black bib the breeding male wears is reduced to a scatter of dark streaking down the flanks, the yellow face and olive back otherwise unchanged. The song is the easiest of any warbler to learn: a buzzy "zee-zee-zee-zoo-zee", sung all summer from the top of a conifer.
Birds, insects, plants and other wildlife, mostly from Brooklyn, with some from further afield.
