lycophidion, 11 days ago to nature Hooded Warbler (Setophaga citrina) in Central Park, NY's The Ramble woodland area at yesterday's World Migratory Bird Day #GlobalBigDay #nature #NaturePhotography #birds #Wildlife #naturecommunity #photography #birding #birdphotography #songbird #biodiversity "Hooded Warblers are small, well-proportioned birds with a straight, sharp bill. Compared to other warblers, they are fairly heavy-bodied and thick-necked. Adult males are olive-green above and bright yellow below with a black hood and throat, a yellow forehead, and yellow cheeks.
