About the Yellow Warbler

The mangrove warbler or mangrove yellow warbler (Setophaga petechia) is a New World warbler species. It a small bright yellow bird that is found in mangroves on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of the tropical Americas. It is also present in the Caribbean and on the Galápagos Islands. It was formerly considered to be conspecific with the migratory American yellow warbler (Setophaga aestiva).

The mangrove warbler was formally described in 1766 by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus in the twelfth edition of his Systema Naturae under the binomial name Motacilla petechia. The specific epithet petechia is from the Italian word petecchia "a small red spot on the skin". Linnaeus based his account on the "yellow-red pole" that had been described and illustrated in 1758 by the English naturalist George Edwards in his book Gleanings of Natural History. Edwards had obtained a specimen from the midwife Sidney Kennon. Edwards was unsure of the provenance of the specimen but in 1935 the Austrian ornithologist Carl Eduard Hellmayr designated the island of Barbados. The mangrove warbler is now placed in the genus Setophaga that was introduced by the English naturalist William Swainson... Wikipedia →
