Vermivora

The genus Vermivora contains species of New World warblers, also known as wood warblers. These small, active songbirds are part of the family Parulidae. While some authors merge Vermivora into the genus Dendroica, Vermivora itself is characterized by less colorful species compared to other wood warblers.1

Wood warblers are known for their migratory habits, traveling from North American breeding grounds to tropical wintering areas. They are insect eaters and are often found in forests and brushy areas. Their songs are typically thin and buzzing, rather than melodious warbles.12
