The male has a black crown patch; depending on the subspecies, that mark is reduced or absent in the female. It breeds across Canada and south through the western United States, and winters from Mexico south through much of Central America. It is a very rare vagrant to western Europe. The Wilson's warbler is a small passerine, ranging from 3.9 to 4.7 inches in length. It migrates through the COSA from April to May and August to October
