This warbler is noticeable different than most warblers due to its brightly colored plumage and distinct features such as a white supercilium and orange crescent on its breast. Crescent-chested warblers create their nests near the ground and eggs are incubated by the female.

These birds are foragers and eat insects. They are also migratory birds and normally survive in flocks. Lastly, the crescent-chested warbler has a number of predators including rodents and other avian predators.
