Description: Yellow-rumped Warbler (Audubon's) (sub-adult female) at Morro Rock in Morro Bay, CA Dendroica coronata - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow-rumped_Warbler 06dec2007 - Canon 1D Mark III 600mm IS w/ 1.4X II TE, on tripod - Photo by Mike Baird bairdphotos.com mike [at} mikebaird dot com wiki says "Three closely related North American bird forms (the eastern Myrtle Warbler, its western counterpart, Audubon's Warbler, and the Central American Goldman's Warbler) are periodically lumped as the Yellow-rumped Warbler (Dendroica coronata)". That makes this individual an Audubon's (now Setophaga auduboni) based on the western location (CA), and also the bright yellow throat is diagnostic according to Sibley, thanks to Gary - encouragement (see comment below) Used under the Creative Commons license at trailmix.net/blogs/barlow/archive/2008/01/23/an-introduct...
