Tropical Parula
Setophaga pitiayumi (Vieillot, 1817)
Parulidae — New World Warblers
Tropical Parula, Setophaga pitiayumi, is a passerine in the New World warbler family and breeds across Middle America and much of South America, with a further breeding presence in southern Texas. It was first described in 1817. Its range is broad through Mexico, Central America and mainland South America, and it also reaches Trinidad. The species is especially associated with forested places that are partly open, including woodland, forest edges, clearings, gallery forest and secondary growth. It is less often found in scrub, and it generally avoids very wet lowland evergreen forest.
