🌎 Tropical parula (Setophaga pitiayumi) The Tropical parula is a small, vibrant warbler with blue-gray upperparts, a greenish back patch, and two white wingbars. Its underparts are bright yellow, deepening to orange on the breast. Males feature a distinct black facial mask. This widespread species ranges from southernmost Texas and northwest Mexico, through Central America, and down to northern Argentina. While generally non-migratory, some northern populations exhibit local movements. Tropical parulas are active foragers, typically found in pairs or mixed-species flocks in the forest canopy. They feed primarily on insects gleaned from foliage and build dome-shaped nests, often within epiphytes like Spanish moss. Males sing a high, buzzy trill. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Around fourteen subspecies are recognised.

🌎 Bay-breasted warbler (Setophaga castanea) The bay-breasted warbler is a small songbird with a striking appearance, especially in breeding males who sport a black face, chestnut crown, throat, and flanks, with a grayish back and white wingbars. Females are paler. They breed in boreal spruce-fir forests across central and eastern Canada and the far northern U.S. In winter, they migrate to wet lowland forests of Panama and northern South America, passing through the eastern U.S. during migration. Bay-breasted warblers primarily forage for insects and spiders by gleaning from tree branches, often in the mid-canopy.
