In the US, olive warblers are found only in mountain forests in southeastern Arizona and adjacent New Mexico. Recent DNA studies indicate they are not wood-warblers (as long assumed) and instead are a separate family. These birds were in Madera Canyon in Arizona. The breeding male above was photographed in spring at about 2000 m elevation in pine forest; the images of immatures and females below were made in winter, when they had descended into riparian habitat. They did not come close and these images are strongly cropped. |
