Xenornis

Today while I was leading a group of clients at Altos del Frente and we spotted this Yellow-throated Warbler in a mixed flock with myriad of tanagers and other common suspects.

A male Yellow-throated Warbler has appeared at our house here at Boca del Drago for the last 3 days. We have it on our yard list, so I guess we saw it last year or the year before also since that is how long we have lived on Isla Colon. Looking at the literature in Ridgely-Gwynne field guide motivated me to report this sighting since it states that its status-distribution is casual or very rare winter migrant. No photograph at this point in time. Still trying to get it with my 3X Mavica. This species was a pretty regular South Texas spring migrant where we used to live in Harlingen.

While exploring Panama for their third time, members of the Tennessee Ornithological Society, led by Advantage Tour's Guido Berguido, birded the Cerro Gaital Nature Monument and other cloudforest ridges above El Valle on January 24th, 2009. Despite the constant bajareque in the mountains close to 3,000 ft., we managed to push on and were rewarded with a few interesting sightings including Brown-billed Scythebill, Snowcap, Tufted Flycatcher, Black-and-yellow Tanager and many individuals of the punctulatus race of the Common Bush-tanager. I was particularly glad to see a few Rufous-browed Tyrannulets in the mixed flocks, and very happy to learn that tour member Michael Nelson had taken some shots (see attachment). This was only the second time I ever see this species : ) We were quite delighted to find numerous warblers on the flocks including Canada, Mourning, Blackburnian, Black-and-white, a pair of Golden-winged Warblers, and even Wilson's and one Yellow-throated Warbl...

Rosabel and Karl Kaufmann, Delicia and Darién Montañez and Dave Klauber spent an hour or so in the morning (and an hour or so in the afternoon) scanning all likely flycatcher perches on Las Nubes looking unsuccessfully for the Crowned Slaty Flycatcher that was seen in the area a month ago. What we did find was an adult (White-lored) Yellow-throated Warbler and a small flock of (Myrtle) Yellow-rumped Warblers in with a large flock of Tennessee Warblers, darting all over the pines along the downhill section of Calle Principal about 100 yards uphill from the intersection with Calle A.

A Yellow-throated Warbler was seen by Solange Anchor, Loyda Sanchez and Jose Tejada on Sunday, September 6 at Parque Omar around 1230 midday. A single specimen, it was very close to the parking area of the National Library and Jose got it on videotape. Jose Tejada had seen this same bird the day before and recorded it with his video camera also. Its behaviour was very much like the Black-and-white Warbler, moving about the main and adjacent trunks of the Caribbean Pines. At times it went flying to the Teak trees that are next to the pine trees. Supercilium was white throughout (Dendroica dominica albilora).

José Tejada discovered (and video-taped) a Yellow-throated Warbler on the pines around the parking lot of the National Library at Parque Omar. Also seen was a Willow Flycatcher (vocalizing) and a pair of Shiny Cowbirds.
