About the Fan-tailed Warbler

The fan-tailed warbler is a New World warbler in the genus Basileuterus that lives along the Pacific slope from northern Mexico to Nicaragua. Vagrant records exist for Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. It is yellow on its throat and underparts with a tawny wash on its chest. The head is gray with a black-framed yellow crown and white around the eyes. The undertail coverlets are white. It is 5.8-6.3 in (14.5–16 cm) long and has a pleasant, upslurred song. Fan-tailed warblers live in and at the edge of evergreen and semideciduous forest, especially near ravines. They eat insects, and are seen hopping around on either the forest floor or close to it. They are found alone or in pairs.
