About These Birds
Belding's Yellowthroat
Belding's Yellowthroat is a vulnerable warbler endemic to a few freshwater marshes in southern Baja California, Mexico. Males have a bright yellow throat and breast, black mask, and olive-green upperparts. Its highly restricted range and dependence on marsh habitats make it susceptible to water diversion, drought, and habitat loss.
