The Northern Parula is a small songbird found primarily in North America. It is known for its vibrant blue and yellow plumage, with a distinctive greenish back. This bird typically inhabits deciduous forests, especially near water sources, where it can be seen flitting among the branches in search of insects and spiders. During the breeding season, the Northern Parula builds its nest in hanging moss or other vegetation, often near water. These birds are migratory, traveling to Central America and the Caribbean for the winter. Their sweet, musical song is a hallmark of their presence in the forests during spring and summer.
