Crescent-chested Warbler
The crescent-chested warbler (''Oreothlypis superciliosa'') is a small New World warbler. It is common throughout its montane range, from northern Mexico to northern Nicaragua. It shows an affinity for oaks. The crescent-chested warbler is superficially similar to both the northern parula and the tropical parula, with yellow underparts, a gray head, and a greenish back, but neither of these has a bold white eyebrow. Adult males have a discrete chestnut crescent on the breast, which is less prominent and sometimes lacking in females and young birds. Life history These monogamous, solitary birds become more gregarious in winter, joining mixed-species flocks to feed (mostly insects, but sometimes fruits and berries in the middle to upper levels of trees). It jumps from twigs and foliage, picking food from the underside of leaves, and hanging beneath leaves in a fashion similar to chickadees to check surfaces for prey. Crescent-chested warblers make their nests atop grassy tusso ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Flame-throated Warbler
The flame-throated warbler (''Oreothlypis gutturalis'') is a small New World warbler. It is sometimes placed in the genera ''Vermivora'' and ''Parula''. Description The adult flame-throated warbler is long and weighs . It has slate grey upper parts, with black on the back, lores, and around the eye. It has a vermilion throat and breast which contrast with the whitish belly. The sexes are almost identical, but the black mask is more extensive in the male. The young bird is browner above, duller below, and has a weak buff eyestripe and wing bars. The call of this warbler is a sharp ''chit''. The song is a buzzing ''pi pipipipi shwaaaa''. Distribution and habitat This species is a resident breeder within the Talamancan montane forests of Costa Rica and western Panama, where it occurs in the canopy, woodland edges, and clearings with trees typically from up to the timberline. On the Caribbean slope in the wet season it may occur down to as low as . Behaviour The deep cup nest, a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
New World Warbler
The New World warblers or wood-warblers are a group of small, often colorful, passerine birds that make up the family Parulidae and are restricted to the New World. They are not closely related to Old World warblers or Australian warblers. Most are arboreal, but some, like the ovenbird and the two waterthrushes, are primarily terrestrial. Most members of this family are insectivores. This group likely originated in northern Central America, where the greatest number of species and diversity between them is found. From there, they spread north during the interglacial periods, mainly as migrants, returning to the ancestral region in winter. Two genera, '' Myioborus'' and ''Basileuterus'', seem to have colonized South America early, perhaps before the two continents were linked, and together constitute most warbler species of that region. The scientific name for the family, Parulidae, originates from the fact that Linnaeus in 1758 named the northern parula as a tit, ''Parus ...

Leiothlypis
''Leiothlypis'' is a genus of New World warbler, formerly classified within the genus ''Oreothlypis'' or '' Vermivora''. The genus was introduced by the Dutch ornithologist George Sangster in 2008 with the Tennessee warbler (''Leiothlypis peregrina'') as the type species. The genus name is derived from the Ancient Greek λειος/''leios'' meaning "plain" and θλυπις/''thlupis'', an unknown small bird mentioned by Aristotle. Although in 2009 the genus was rejected by the American Ornithological Society The American Ornithological Society (AOS) is an ornithological organization based in the United States. The society was formed in October 2016 by the merger of the American Ornithologists' Union (AOU) and the Cooper Ornithological Society. Its m ...'s Committee on Classification and Nomenclature of North and Middle American Birds, it was accepted in their 2019 supplement to the ''Check-list of North American Birds''.

Robert Ridgway
Robert Ridgway (July 2, 1850 – March 25, 1929) was an American ornithologist specializing in systematics. He was appointed in 1880 by Spencer Fullerton Baird, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, to be the first full-time curator of birds at the United States National Museum, a title he held until his death. In 1883, he helped found the American Ornithologists' Union, where he served as officer and journal editor. Ridgway was an outstanding descriptive taxonomist, capping his life work with ''The Birds of North and Middle America'' (eight volumes, 1901–1919). In his lifetime, he was unmatched in the number of North American bird species that he described for science. As technical illustrator, Ridgway used his own paintings and outline drawings to complement his writing. He also published two books that systematized color names for describing birds, ''A Nomenclature of Colors for Naturalists'' (1886) and ''Color Standards and Color Nomenclature'' (1912). Orni ...

Parula
''Parula'' was formerly a small genus of New World warblers which breed in North and South America. In 1758, Linnaeus classified the northern parula as a tit, ''Parus americanus'', and as taxonomy developed the genus name was modified first to ''Parulus'' and then the current form. The family name, Parulidae, also derives from this source. Most recently, the two species were: * Northern parula, ''Parula americana'' * Tropical parula, ''Parula pitiayumi'' ( Flame-throated and crescent-chested warblers were formerly classified in this genus.) Taxonomy Recent genetic research has suggested that ''Parula'' and ''Setophaga'' are congeneric and should be merged. As the name ''Setophaga'' (published in 1827) takes priority over ''Parula'' (published in 1838), both the species would be transferred to ''Setophaga'' where this is accepted. This change has been accepted by the North American Classification Committee of the AOU, and the IOC.,IOC World Bird LisFamily Parulidae/ref> howe ...
