Cerulean Warbler (Setophaga cerulea)
- HABITAT - Cerulean Warblers are traditionally associated with forested landscapes, particularly mature deciduous forest with large and tall trees and an open understory. They can be difficult to see because they tend to stay high in the tops of leafy trees in the eastern United States and extreme southern Canada.
- DIET - Cerulean Warblers eat mainly spiders and insects.
- FACTS - Cerulean Warblers are facing a serious decline in numbers. In many areas, they are considered as a species at risk including Ontario where they have a status of "Threatened". In Ontario and the United States, the main threat is habitat loss from degrading and fragmenting forests, since it requires relatively large tracts of forest. On the South American wintering grounds, this bird’s forest habitat is under a high degree of threat from logging.
- We have only had a single sighting of the Cerulean Warbler and were very lucky to get these images at the time.
