Hermit warblers are dark gray in coloration on top, and white below, and their flanks are streaked with black.

[3] Nests are neat and cup-shaped, constructed from stems, grass, twigs, and pine needles positioned near the tip of a branch high in a conifer tree.

The female will lay between three and five eggs, which are white in color and heavily spotted with brown and lilac speckles.

Hermit warblers are common, but incredibly shy, birds that dwell in open coniferous forests.

You can usually find these birds in Tall Coniferous forest, Douglas fir, Pine, Redwood, and in the mountain like areas.
