Identification and description:
The Black-throated Green Warbler is a small songbird belonging to the Parulidae family. It is easily recognizable by its black throat contrasting with its white belly and olive-green back. Males display brighter colors than females, especially during the breeding season. It primarily inhabits coniferous and mixed forests in northeastern North America. As a migratory bird, it winters in the tropical regions of Central America. Its song is distinctive, often described as a "zoo-zee-zoo-zoo-zee". Although its habitat is threatened by deforestation, it is still widespread and considered of least concern by the IUCN.

Recommended lens:
400 mm – adjust based on distance, desired framing (portrait or habitat), and approach conditions.

Photography tips:
To photograph the Black-throated Green Warbler, it is advisable to use a telephoto lens of at least 400mm to capture detailed images without disturbing the bird. Look for areas where trees are dense, as this bird prefers wooded habitats. Be patient and discreet, as although suspicious, it may approach if you remain still. Take advantage of the early morning hours when the light is soft and bird activity is at its peak.
