Blackpoll Warblers Eat Mosquitoes

The Blackpoll Warbler is a small member of the Parulidae family of New World warblers, also known as wood warblers. It is one of the predators of mosquitoes that eat mosquitoes. Their breeding habitats include the majority of Canada and Alaska in the summer. They migrate to South America for the winter and set a songbird record for one of the longest non-stop overwater journeys. Their name derives from their high-pitched vocalizations, black and white forehead, and crown.

Blackpoll Warblers have streaky underparts and black and white plumage with white wing bars. They frequently reside in mountainous forests or scrubland at higher altitudes. Nevertheless, some people also reside close to coastal regions, tundra, and coniferous forests. They are mostly insectivores, eating webworms, ants, gnats, aphids, spiders, and sawflies in addition to mosquitoes. They will hover over the ground and fly through tree branches while hunting until they spot their meal.
