The Connecticut warbler (Oporornis agilis) is a small songbird of the New World warbler family. These medium-sized warblers measure 13–15 cm in length, with a 22–23 cm wingspan. Their breeding habitat is bogs or open deciduous woods near water, especially with poplar or aspen, in central Canada and states bordering the Great Lakes. These birds migrate to the Amazon River area in South America in winter. Despite its name, this bird would probably only visit Connecticut during migration. Order: Passeriformes, Family: Parulidae, Genus: Oporornis, Species: Oporornis agilis (Wilson, 1812).
