About the Orange-crowned Warbler
The orange-crowned warbler (Leiothlypis celata) is a small songbird of the New World warbler family. The orange-crowned warbler was formally described in 1822 by the American zoologist Thomas Say under the binomial name Sylvia celatus from a specimen collected on an expedition from Pittsburgh to the Rocky Mountains led by Stephen Harriman Long. The specific epithet celatus is Latin and means "secret" or "hidden". The type locality is Omaha, Nebraska. The orange-crowned warbler is now placed in the genus Leiothlypis that was introduced by the Dutch ornithologist George Sangster in 2008. The genus name is derived from the Ancient Greek λειος/leios meaning "plain" and θλυπις/thlupis, an unknown small bird mentioned by Aristotle.
Four subspecies are recognised: L. c. celata (Say, 1822) – breeds in central Alaska to south Canada, winters in Guatemala L. c. lutescens (Ridgway, 1872) – breeds in west Canada and west USA, winters in Guatemala L. c. orestera (Oberholser, 1905) – breeds in west central Canada and west central USA, winters in Mexico
L. c. sordida (Townsend, CH, 1890) – resident in south California (southwest USA) and northwest Mexico The orange... Wikipedia →
