Booted Warbler

The Booted Warbler is fairly common in this region. It is a small dull-brown colored bird, largely unnoticed as it perfectly blends into the background growth. It moves through the undergrowth solitairily, feeding mainly on insects and worms and can be identified by its call, a deep chuck, chuck…  

It is one of the several species of warblers, which are quite difficult to identify.

The small, brown birds which normally remain inconspicuous, are quite easily spotted just before the spring season, when the trees are still bare and without new green foliage.
