Orange-crowned Warbler (Leiothlypis celata)

March 1, 2024

John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge, Tinicum, Pennsylvania

This is usually a rare spring or fall migrant in my part of the country, and this particular bird should be wintering somewhere warm, like Mexico or Florida. Instead, it decided to spend the entire winter in this wildlife refuge next to Philadelphia International Airport. This was the second time I saw it, and there are many other records over the past few months. The orange crown is hidden, and is only visible when the bird is agitated.

Orange-crowned Warbler (Leiothlypis celata)

Chadron State Park; Fall 2022

Sometimes birds are born with deformities, and sometimes an injury causes them. In the case of this "cross-bill" OCWA, I don't know what the cause was. That being said, the bird's bill is still being worn down cleanly as no overgrowth is present on either side, and it had made at least the first portion of its journey safely- Orange-crowned don't breed in Nebraska, so it's not like this bird hopped out of a nest and into my net. From what I remember, it also had a decent amount of fat present, which bodes well for migration. I hope the lil guy is still doing well out there.

All banding, marking, and sampling is being conducted under a federally authorized Bird Banding Permit issued by the U.S. Geological Survey's BBL. Permission to share images was granted by Bird Conservancy of the Rockies (BCR).

The spirited wings of May darted throughout the green canopy offering inspiration for poets and other dreamers.

Warbler Showdown; Bracket 7, Poll 3

Colima Warbler (Leiothlypis crissalis)

IUCN Rating: Least Concern

Range: migratory; breeds in the Chisos Mountains in southwest Texas through the range in Mexico; overwinters in south central Mexico, from southern Sinaloa down to Oaxaca, though typically found in Colima and Morelos

Habitat: breeds in oak, Mexican pinyon, juniper, and Arizona cypress chaparral and overwinters in semihumid to humid montane forests.

Subspecies: none

Orange-crowned Warbler (Leiothlypis celata)

IUCN Rating: Least Concern

Range: migratory; breeds from Alaska to Newfoundland, all the way down to New Mexico, Arizona, and Baja California; overwinters in all southern states, along the Pacific Northwest, and in a majority of Mexico.

Habitat: breeding habitat is incredibly various due to range- brushy deciduous, fir-aspen, or pine-oak woodlands, harvested forests, and early-successional deciduous stands. Each of these habitats are associated with different tree types too, a true generalist. Overwinters in similar habitats.

Subspecies: 4
