This Black-throated Green Warbler was found at Magee Marsh in Oak Harbor Ohio while birdwatching. The Magee Marsh is part of the Northern flyway migration route. The Black-Thrated Green Warbler winters in Northern South America or Central America and flys north into the USA and Canada in the spring. An abundant breeder of the northeastern coniferous forests, the Black-throated Green Warbler is easy to recognize by sight and sound. Its dark black bib and bright yellow face are unique amongst Eastern birds, and its persistent song of "zoo-zee, zoo-zoo-zee" is easy to remember. Adult Description •Small songbird. •Black in throat, extending as stripes down sides of chest. •Yellow face. •Crown and back olive green. •Two white wingbars. •Belly white. Male Description Yellow face, with olive-green crown and ear patches. Green mantle. Two white bars on each wing. Black chin, throat, and breast, with bold streaks on the flanks. Female Description Similar to male, but chin and upper throat are white or pale yellow; black may be broken across middle of breast. Immature Description In first fall and winter, very similar to adult female, but with brighter yellow face and yellow-tinged underparts.
