About These Birds
Black-crested Warbler
The Black-crested Warbler is a small warbler of Andean cloud forest undergrowth in Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Peru, with a distinctive black cap and crest contrasting with yellow underparts and olive upperparts. It inhabits dense forest undergrowth and thickets along stream edges and forest borders. It feeds on insects, foraging close to the ground in typical warbler fashion.
