Bay-breasted warblers (Setophaga castanea) breed in Canada and spend migration throughout the eastern United States. According to All About Birds, “They nest in low-elevation coniferous forests and forage fairly low in dense foliage on the inner part of the tree.” They are insect eaters, and love spruce budworms.
