About These Birds
Black-lored Yellowthroat
The Black-lored Yellowthroat is a small New World warbler with yellow underparts, olive-green upperparts, and a distinctive black facial mask restricted to the lore and ear region, different from the broader mask of the Common Yellowthroat. It inhabits dense marsh vegetation, reed beds, and grassy thickets in western Mexico. It feeds on small insects and spiders gleaned from dense stems and foliage close to the water.
Altamira Yellowthroat
The Altamira Yellowthroat is a near-threatened warbler weighing about 11 g with a 10.8 cm wingspan, restricted to marshes and dense vegetation along the Gulf Coast of Mexico. Males display a distinctive yellow throat and mask pattern used in courtship.
