And the lovely American Redstart exhibits a flashy behavior that includes rapid tail fanning and wing spreading, another species I’ve had the pleasure of observing in its natural habitat. Daniel Edelstein — biologist, birding guide, It is migratory, wintering in Central America and the West Indies. (Photo credit: Martin Meyers ©), A winter resident in northern California (where I live), Townsend's Warbler (Dendroica townsendi) populations leave to breed elsewhere, including northern latitudes as far away as Alaska.

Interestingly, young and adult birds in low elevation sites leave breeding territories before the start of prebasic molt (after the breeding season) and presumably move to higher elevations to molt. Like many resident tropical wood-warbler family members, the Hermit Warbler displays little seasonal change in plumage. According to Jon Dunn and Kimball Garrett's "Warbler" field guide, subtle variations in the pitch (frequency level) of the call notes help distinguish an Audubon's vs. a Myrtle's subspecies (in addition, of course, to assessing their different field marks). Hooded warbler upperparts are olive green; underparts are yellow. in our world more fascinating At least two singing female wood-warbler species occur. Got wood-warbler questions?

Among the three subspecies within the Wilson's Warbler species, the subspecies shown here may be found from s. CA to British Columbia. Next to the Yellow-Rumped Warbler, Common Yellowthroat is the next most likely non-breeding season wood-warbler to overwinter in extreme, northern latitude states, especially if a micro-habitat or mild winter exists.
