Worm-eating Warbler
Helmitheros vermivorus

Worm-eating Warbler

Worm-eating Warbler

AOU Code WEWA
Habitat Association Deciduous forest and damp, bushy ravines with dense undergrowth; also locally in regenerating clear-cuts; in migration, a variety of wooded habitats; in winter, primarily broadleaf forest with dense undergrowth (AOU 1998).
Nest Type and Location open-cup, midstory/canopy
Migration Status Neotropical
