The Hooded Warbler (Wilsonia citrina) is striking with its black hood and yellow face and forehead. The tail is white below and the outer tail feathers are also white in both male and female. The female and young do not have the hood.
This little 5-1/4 inch bird inhabits swamps and wet woodlands but prefers to stay hidden in the undergrowth.
The call is a flat "chink" but the warbling song is melodious.
This bird is found in the eastern and central United States. It winters in Central America.
