Bright colors and variable songs make the warblers some of the most beloved songbirds in North America. Tempt these insect-eaters with dense, multitiered plantings of shrubs and trees, which offer shelter and harbor insects. Warblers are also attracted to water.
Live in forests, open woodlands, and densely planted back yards.
Eat insects, usually harvested from trees or shrubs. Also fruit, in fall and winter.
Nest in trees or shrubs or on the ground. The prothonotary warbler nests in cavities.
Attract with dense, insect-harboring shrubs and moving water.
