A denizen of tall western coniferous forests, the Hermit Warbler is restricted to California, Oregon, and Washington. Because it lives in the tops of some of the tallest trees on the planet, it is more easily heard than seen.
Song several high notes followed by lower abrupt ones, or a rapid series of buzzy notes followed by rising and falling whistled notes. Variable. Call a sharp chip.
