The Prairie Warbler (Setophaga discolor) is a small songbird of the New World warbler family Parulidae. These birds have yellow underparts with dark streaks on the flanks, and olive overparts with rusty streaks on the back; they have a yellow line above the eye, a dark line through it, and a yellow spot below it. The prairie warbler is a permanent resident in the southern parts of its range, while other birds migrate to northeastern Mexico and islands in the Caribbean. These warblers are typically found in brushy areas and forest edges in eastern North America. The Prairie Warbler’s nests are open cups, which are usually placed in a low area of a tree or shrub. They forage actively on tree branches, and sometimes fly around with the purpose of catching insects, which are the main food source of these birds.
