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.
Black-crested Warbler
The Black-crested Warbler is a small warbler of Andean cloud forest undergrowth in Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Peru, with a distinctive black cap and crest contrasting with yellow underparts and olive upperparts. It inhabits dense forest undergrowth and thickets along stream edges and forest borders. It feeds on insects, foraging close to the ground in typical warbler fashion.
