Hooded Warbler

The adult male hooded warbler has a distinctive black hood extending from the top of the head to the throat. The face is yellow, as are the underparts, and the back is olive-green. The females usually show only a darker crown with an indistinct necklace around the lower part of the neck, but some may have a black crown and hood markings almost as dark as the male's. Among the most noticeable field marks are the white outer tail feathers—hooded warblers are well known for their habit of flicking or fanning the tail.
