Orange-crowned Warbler (non breeding)
Vermivora celata

Field Notes
Description:
A tiny bird. Yellow underparts, back and head greenish. The eyes have a white ring around them. The beak is small. The bird is skittish and I had to hide behind curtains to take pictures out of the window. The last two pictures are of the bird feeding on small insects off of the trunk.
Habitat:
Bushes
Notes:
The bird flits from branch to branch in hops or short flights. It gives a short "peep" note every couple of seconds. It seems most comfortable in the thick protection of a bush. If it detects my presence it flies away to a different bush or tree away from "danger."
