Nashville
Warblers pass through our area in the early spring (usually gone by
the end of April) and then again in fall (usually September).
Like other warblers, they prefer insects, and will feed on flowering
trees that attract the same. It rarely spends the winter, but
be careful not to confuse it with Orange-crowned Warbler. Look
for them in riparian growth and yards, especially blooming Palo
Verde trees.
