The hooded warbler (Setophaga citrina) is a New World warbler. It breeds in eastern North America across the eastern United States and into southernmost Canada (Ontario). It is migratory, wintering in Central America and the West Indies. Hooded warblers are very rare vagrants to western Europe.

Recent genetic research has suggested that the

IOC World Bird List.[4] The South American Classification Committee continues to list the bird in the genus Wilsonia
.

Taxonomy

The French polymath

binomial name Muscicapa citrina in his catalogue of the Planches Enluminées.[7]

The hooded warbler was formerly placed in the genus

priority.[9][10] The genus Setophaga was introduced by the English naturalist William Swainson in 1827.[11]
The species is monotypic; no subspecies are recognised.[10] The genus name Setophaga is from Ancient Greek ses, "moth", and phagos, "eating", and the specific citrina is Latin for citrine.[12]

Description

Hooded Warbler in Audubon's Birds of America
Hooded Warbler in Audubon's Birds of America

The hooded warbler is a small bird and mid-sized warbler, measuring 13 cm (5.1 in) in length and weighing 9–12 g (0.32–0.42 oz).

rectrices have whitish vanes. Males have distinctive black hoods which surround their yellow faces; the female has an olive-green cap which does not extend to the forehead, ears, and throat. Males attain their hood at about 9–12 months of age; younger birds are essentially identical to (and easily confused with) females.[15]
The song is a series of musical notes which sound like: wheeta wheeta whee-tee-oh, for which a common mnemonic is "The red, the red T-shirt" or "Come to the woods or you won't see me". The call of these birds is a loud chip.

Life history

These birds feed on

fragmented. In areas with protected woodlands or recovering wooded habitats, the hooded warbler population is stable and possibly increasing.[13]
