Most Orange-crowned Warblers nest on the ground, possibly to avoid nest-robbing birds.
Orange-crowned Warblers begin their spring migration earlier, stay later on the breeding grounds, and winter farther north than most other warblers. Food rather than day length seems to drive their migratory calendar, as they begin to leave the breeding grounds when cold or drought limit supplies of insect prey. Cornell All About Birds
