Notes from the Station

Meet the birds we study in our landbird banding program at Coyote Creek Field Station

Black-throated Gray Warbler

Picture

Species: Black-throated Gray Warbler
Most recent capture date: 4/16/2023
Age: around ten months old
​Sex: Female

Notes: A migration rarity for us, and more common in the fall than spring; we get an average of one of this species per year. We know this individual is a female from her lack of the eponymous black throat.

I have perhaps been watching too many fashion reality shows lately, because this bird makes me think that someone looked at the Black-and-white Warbler and thought: “Almost right, but it needs a pop of color!”
