Black-throated Green Warbler Photo

An abundant breeder of the northeastern coniferous forests, the Black-throated Green Warbler is easy to recognize by sight and sound. Its dark black bib and bright yellow face are unique amongst Eastern birds, and its persistent song of "zoo-zee, zoo-zoo-zee" is easy to remember.

Song is a musical, buzzy "zee-zee-zee-zoo-zee" or "zoo-zee-zoo-zoo-zee." Call note is a sharp chip.
