HOODED WARBLER

A striking small bird of eastern hardwood forests, the Hooded Warbler prefers forests with some shrub understory. A favourite warbler amongst many birders,ย Point Pelee National Parkย is a sure bet to find this species, most often in the first week in May. ย Look for this bird in the lower levels of the forest or on the forest floor. ย They habitually flick their tails open and shut, showing off their white tails spots โ€“ a behaviour that is easily glimpsed with the limited vegetation at this time of the year. ย They are often found at this time of year in other wooded areas in the county, includingย Ojibway Park,ย Kopegaren Woods, Wheatley Provincial Park, amongst others.
