Chestnut-crowned Warbler

Phylloscopus castaniceps

Small, distinctive warbler; combination of orange crown, white throat, green wings, and yellow belly are unique among the region’s warblers. Found in mountainous regions with dense cover. More often heard than seen; song is a thin, high-pitched series of “see” notes. Occasionally moves with mixed flocks but often forages individually or in pairs.
