The Black-throated Gray Warbler is a small songbird native to the New World. This species enjoys breeding in open, coniferous and mixed woodland areas in western North America. Typically, the Black-throated Gray Warbler will frequent woodlands containing oak, juniper and pinyon pines. Nests are built in an open cup shape on horizontal branches in the trees. In winter months, this species migrates to Mexico and the southwestern United States. They are foragers, and frequently search for food among low vegetation such as insects and caterpillars. Sometimes, they are able to hover over or catch insects in-flight. The Black-throated Gray Warbler currently has a conservation status of Least Concern.
