Elfin Woods Warbler
Setophaga angelae (Kepler & Parkes, 1972)

Elfin Woods Warbler, Setophaga angelae, is a New World warbler that breeds in Puerto Rico. It is local and uncommon there, and it is the most recently described member of its family. First found in 1968 and named in 1972, it takes its species name from Angela Kepler, one of the discoverers. Its habitat is largely protected forest, but introduced animals, loss of habitat and natural disasters remain threats to the population.
