Abstract
Abstract—We documented between-winter site fidelity of orange-crowned warblers (Oreothlypis celata) in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas, between 2004 and 2017. Overall, we recaptured 13.9% of the 201 banded birds in ‡1 subsequent winter season: 20.8% of the 101 birds banded in urban natural areas, and 7.0% of the 100 banded in rural areas. We recaptured 8 birds ‡3 winters after their initial capture, indicating extended winter site fidelity.
Resumen—Documentamos la fidelidad al sitio invernal de los chipes olivaceos (Oreothlypis celata) en el Valle del R´ıo Grande Baja de Texas entre 2004 y 2017. En general, se recaptur ´o el 13.9% de los 201 individuos anillados en al menos una temporada invernal posterior: el 20.8% de los 101 individuos anillados en las areas urbanas naturales, y el 7.0% de los 100 anillados en el ´area rural natural. Recapturamos 8 aves tres o m´as inviernos después de su captura inicial, lo que indica la fidelidad prolongada al sitio invernal.
