The Hermit Warbler is a small songbird that belongs to the family Parulidae, which includes other warblers and wood-warblers. This species is found primarily in mature coniferous forests of the western coast of North America, particularly in California and Oregon. Adults have distinctive plumage with a yellow face, black eyestripe, and gray back, while juveniles are more muted in coloration. Hermit Warblers feed on insects and spiders, often foraging high up in trees. They are known for their complex songs, which consist of a series of trills and whistles. This species is monogamous and nests in conifer trees, laying 3-5 eggs per clutch. Hermit Warblers migrate to Mexico during the winter months, where they can be found in similar habitats.
