Parulidae - New World Warblers

The Parulidae family, also known as the New World warbler family, includes about 125 bird species. They are found throughout North, Central, and South America, as well as the Caribbean.

New World warblers are small birds, generally about 4–7 inches (10.2–17.8 cm) long. They usually have pointed wings and thin, pointed bills.

Their colors vary widely. Many are olive-green, yellow, gray, or brown, while others have bright patches of red, blue, black, or white.

New World warblers eat mostly insects and other small invertebrates, but some species also eat seeds, berries, fruit, or nectar. They live in a variety of habitats, including forests, woodlands, shrubs, and wetlands. Many species spend much of their time in trees and shrubs. Many New World warblers are migratory, traveling long distances between their breeding and wintering grounds.
