MacGillivray's Warbler

Geothlypis tolmiei (Townsend, JK, 1839)

MacGillivray's Warbler, Geothlypis tolmiei, is a passerine of the Parulidae family that breeds in western North America and northern Mexico, and spends the non-breeding season in Middle America. It is a bird of dense cover in forests, clearings after disturbance, and riparian growth, with a range that reaches from southeastern Alaska and western Canada south through the west to Panama. It is best recognised by its placement in the New World warblers and by the fact that it was long treated under another genus before being placed in Geothlypis.
