Its natural habitats dry forests, lowland moist forests, montane moist forests, and xeric shrublands. As its common name implies, the Oriente warbler is found in Cuba's east; it is the sister species to its fellow Cuban endemic, the Yellow-headed warbler, found in extreme western Cuba.

A whitish eye ring and slightly decurved bill are distinctive traits. Feeds on insects, spiders and small lizards.
