Yellow-throated Warbler (Setophaga dominica), Patagonia, Santa Cruz County

This Yellow-throated Warbler was found by Robin Baxter on 9 November and  photographed by Alan Schmierer on 11 November 2014

Yellow-throated Warbler is a casual transient with about 20 records, although there has been an increase in records in the last few years.

Note the yellow throat, black auriculars with white spot behind them, and the white eyeline. This bird is of the western D. d. albilora race. This race has a white or pale yellow supraloral stripe (the part of the white eyebrow near the bill) whereas the other races of D. dominica have bright yellow supraloral stripes.
