The Willow Warbler, Phylloscopus trochilus, is a very common and widespread leaf warbler which breeds throughout northern and temperate Europe and Asia.
This warbler is strongly migratory and the entire population winters in sub-Saharan Africa.

Most are arboreal insect catchers; some, e.g., the fl-and-white, the yellow-throated, and the pine warblers, crawl on trees like nuthatches and are sometimes called creepers, e.g., the honey creeper of tropical America.
Most warblers build open, cup-shaped nests at moderate heights; they are favored victims of the parasitic cowbird.
Warblers are classified in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, class Aves, order Passeriformes, families Parulidae and Sylviidae.

 CERULEAN WARBLER
The cerulean warbler is 4 to 4.5 inches long, has a wingspan of 7.5 to 8 inches and an average weight of 3.2 ounces.
Because cerulean warblers often remain concealed in foliage high in the forest canopy, they are usually best identified by their buzzy calls, which rise in pitch at the end.
The warbler's winter habitat is concentrated on the eastern slopes of the Andes Mountains in western South America.

 Is the Golden-Winged Warbler a Social Mimic of the Black-Capped Chickadee?
The chickadee has a fl cap and the warbler a fl face patch; the latter feature, at a distance, gives a similar impression in relation to the bib as the cap of the chickadee, i.e., a fl patch separated from another by a white patch.
Finally, although Golden-winged Warbler comprised only five percent of the arboreal warblers present during one spring migration, 50 percent of the warblers seen within five in of a chickadee were of that species.
The warbler is a migrant, and the chickadee is a resident.

 Golden-winged Warbler Species Account
It may be that the Blue-winged Warbler actually outcompetes the Golden-winged Warbler, or that genetic introgression of the Golden-winged Warbler with the Blue-winged Warbler could account for the disappearance of the Golden-winged Warbler (Gill 1980).
Confer and Knapp (1981) suggest that the Golden-winged Warbler is a habitat specialist requiring early successional fields, while the Blue-winged Warbler is a habitat generalist.
In this study, Golden-winged Warbler habitat was typified by a clumped distribution of herbs and shrubs.
