Description
The Nashville Warbler, Oreothlypis ruficapilla, is a small songbird in the New World warbler family.
They have olive-brown upperparts, a white belly and a yellow throat and breast; they have a white eye ring, no wing bars and a thin pointed bill. Adult males have a grey head with a rusty crown patch (often not visible); females and immature birds have a duller olive-grey head. The Nashville Warbler is closely related to Virginia's Warbler, Lucy's Warbler and Colima Warbler, the four sharing generally similar plumage.
Two discrete populations exist. The nominate subspecies, O. r. ruficapilla, breeds in northeastern North America. The other, O. r. ridgwayi, known as Calaveras Warbler, nests in western North America. The latter differs from the former in its relatively duller plumage and more persistent tail movements,
Nashville Warbler: Breeds from British Columbia and northwestern Montana south to central California and central Idaho; and from Manitoba, Quebec, and Nova Scotia, south to Minnesota, northern West Virginia, and western Maryland. Spends winters south of the U.S.-Mexico border. Preferred habitats include thickets in open mixed forests or brushy borders of swamps.
