Gray-crowned Yellowthroat
Geothlypis poliocephala

Family | Wood Warblers |
---|
In far southern Texas, this warbler was once a regular resident; today it is only a very rare straggler there. Although its behavior is somewhat like that of the Common Yellowthroat, it is less of a marsh bird, often living in rank weedy or brushy fields.
