A male northern parula was observed along the river in June 2002.

The northern parula inhabits various habitats depending on season and location.

The northern parula forages mostly or entirely on terrestrial invertebrates.

P. pitiayumi has occasionally been lumped with the closely related northern parula (S. americana) as a single species.

The northern parula (Setophaga americana) is a small New World warbler.

The song was similar to that of the northern parula, but distinguishable in that it was noticeably monotone.

During the winter, the northern parula consumes more beetles and occasionally forages on berries, seeds, and nectar.

Most tropical parulas can be distinguished from the northern parula by their lack of white eye crescents, but this may be ambiguous in hybrids.

Parula americana (Northern parula)

Outside of the breeding season, the northern parula becomes more of a habitat generalist and may be found in a wide variety of habitats during migration and winter.

Species sighted during that time include Blackburnian warbler, black-throated blue warbler, blue-winged warbler, northern parula, and yellow-rumped warbler.

The Northern Parula breeds locally in the eastern U.S. and southern Canada from southeastern Manitoba east to Nova Scotia.

National Action Needs for Canadian Landbird Conservation Version 1 - October 2004 Northern Parula Scientific Name:

Highlights were 9 Whimbrel, hundreds of Dunlin, 3 Canvasback, 11 species of warblers including male and female Northern Parula warblers.

The northern parula is one of the smaller Northern migratory warblers, often being one of the smallest birds in a mixed feeding flock besides kinglets or gnatcatchers.

Among them the Blackburnian Warbler, the Northern Parula, the Black-throated Blue Warbler, and the Ovenbird responded at more than one scale.

A Grey Catbird, Ovenbird and Northern Parula were then seen and the Cuban Trogan's came closer and gave us amazingly good views.

Back at the car park a Cuban Green Woodpecker was seen sticking his head out of a nest hole and another Yellow-throated Warbler and Northern Parula were seen.

Around the back of the gardens we found an immature male Orchard Oriole and then a Northern Parula and a Warbling Vireo, as well as female Hooded Warbler.

The crescent-chested warbler is superficially similar to both the northern parula and the tropical parula, with yellow underparts, a gray head, and a greenish back, but neither of these has a bold white eyebrow.

With several small white areas on the forehead and around the eyes, this bird appeared much like a hybrid, but such birds would only occur as far south as Panama (if they would migrate like the northern parula).

Species that thrive in southern hardwood forests, such as the red-eyed vireo, wood thrush, wild turkey, northern parula, ruby-throated hummingbird, and tufted titmouse, are found throughout the range's lower elevations and cove hardwood forests.

A very early Ruby-crowned Kinglet was seen on August 19, along with a Northern Parula, and an early Gray-cheeked Thrush was seen on August 22, all of them in Newcastle Woods.

Parula americana (Northern parula)

The northern parula warbler (Parula americana) and the eastern bluebird (Sialia sialis) are also found here.
