Description

The orange-crowned Warbler has a large range but is a rare sight. These birds stay in the coverage of low thickets and dense vegetation in shrubby ecosystems looking for insects and berries. The orange-crowned Warbler also nests on the ground, possibly to avoid other bird species that might commandeer or rob from a nest higher up in the trees.

Feeding Habits
Orange-crowned Warbler predominantly consume invertebrates like ants, beetles, spiders, flies, and caterpillars. They forage from ground to treetops, supplementing their diet with fruits, berries, seeds, and plant galls. They drink nectar, feed at sapsucker wells, and visit feeders with suet and peanut butter.
Habitat
Orange-crowned Warbler typically reside in diverse, open woodlands with a mix of shrubs and deciduous or mixed trees. They thrive across a range of altitudes and climates, often found in chaparral, riparian thickets, willow, alder, and maple vegetation as well as in human-altered landscapes like second growth forests and clearcuts. Orange-crowned Warbler are versatile and inhabit more forest types than most warblers, from sea level to 7,500 feet environments. Breeding habitats vary from temperate rainforests in Alaska to fir-aspen woodlands in Arizona and oak-dominated Californian landscapes. They winter in similar structured environments, such as Mexico's pine-oak forests and the Caribbean's brushy woodlands.
Nest Behavior
The female orange-crowned Warbler solely constructs the nest over 4 days, then lays eggs, lining the nest with fine grasses and hair. After egg-laying, both parents participate in feeding the young and defending the nest.
Nest Characteristics
Orange-crowned Warbler's nest is typically placed on/near the ground, hidden by vegetation on shady hillsides, or in low shrubs. The open cup-shaped nest measures about 4 inches across, 2.5 inches high, and is built from leaves, grass, bark, moss, and animal hair.

Behavior

Orange-crowned Warbler exhibit agility and purpose in their movements, navigating through dense vegetation with rapidity to forage. Their diet consists primarily of insects, which they adeptly glean from an array of surfaces, including foliage, bark, and even mid-flight. During breeding season, males vocally establish and defend territories, later ceasing their calls as part of courtship rituals. Remarkably, these displays involve mimicry of female behaviors to woo mates. Post-courting, vocalizations resume. A distinct behavior is the male's crown feather display, revealing a bright orange patch to signify territorial aggression or threat responses. Orange-crowned Warbler are amicable toward sympatric avian species, often sharing habitat space. Their migration and wintering periods involve forming mixed-species flocks, enhancing their social ecology.
