Life History
These birds feed on insects, which are often found in low vegetation or caught by flycatching. Hooded Warblers' breeding habitats are broadleaved woodlands with dense undergrowth. These birds nest in low areas of a bush, laying 3–5 eggs in a cup-shaped nest. Hooded Warblers are often the victims of brood parasitism by the Brown-headed Cowbird, especially where the Hooded Warblers' forest habitats are fragmented. In areas with protected woodlands or recovering wooded habitat, the hooded warbler population is stable and possibly increasing.
