The male is one of the easier warblers to identify since it retains its strikingly patterned plumage year-round. These warblers are among the tamest and most trusting of this family. If an observer moves very deliberately, the bird may be approached to within a few feet (about a meter). Northern populations tend to winter in western Caribbean and Central America while southern populations tend to winter in eastern Greater Antilles.
