The hooded warbler (Setophaga citrina)

During the mating season, both males and females sing to attract a potential mate, after which the female builds a nest made from bark and other plant material in the underbrush of a low-lying area. The nest has an outer layer of dead leaves into which three to five eggs are laid. After about 12 days they hatch with the chicks being fully-fledged in about 8-9 days.
