Black-throated Gray Warbler

Black-throated Gray Warblers are Common from Mid April-Mid September.

Habitat

Throughout most of their range, Black-throated Gray Warblers inhabit a variety of deciduous or mixed deciduous-coniferous woodlands, often with oak present. In Washington, which does not have a significant amount of oak, they are more generalized. but they also use mixed and coniferous forests, where they are often found in second-growth and edge areas.

Behavior

Black-throated Gray Warblers associate with mixed feeding flocks, especially during migration. They spend much of their time in the treetops, although when they are found lower down, they are not extremely wary and can be observed closely. They use a variety of foraging styles; most commonly they glean food from foliage while they climb about on tree limbs.
