Cerulean Warbler


Picture
The Cerulean Warbler (Dendroica cerulea) is 4.5 inches in length.  It has bluish to blue-gray upperparts with black streaking on the back.  It has white tail spots, 2 white wing bars, and black streaking on the sides and flanks.  It has a bluish-black chest band and white underparts.

The song of the Cerulean Warbler is a series of accelerating buzzy notes on the same, or slightly ascending pitch.  The song ends in a drawn-out buzzing series of notes.

The Cerulean Warbler is one of our smallest warblers and is difficult to see because it stays hidden in dense foliage in the tops of tall trees.  Because of the fact that it prefers to spend time in the tops of trees, little is known about its feeding habits and breeding biology.  It is considered fairly common to uncommon in mature deciduous forests.
