Abstract

ABSTRACT—We confirmed the breeding of the Common Yellowthroat (Geothlypis trichas) during 2008–2015 at Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge and presented measurement evidence that individuals belong to the Brownsville Common Yellowthroat, Geothlypis trichas insperata. This expands the known breeding distribution for this rare and local subspecies.
