Orange-crowned Warbler (Leiothlypis celata)
March 1, 2024
John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge, Tinicum, Pennsylvania
This is usually a rare spring or fall migrant in my part of the country, and this particular bird should be wintering somewhere warm, like Mexico or Florida. Instead, it decided to spend the entire winter in this wildlife refuge next to Philadelphia International Airport. This was the second time I saw it, and there are many other records over the past few months. The orange crown is hidden, and is only visible when the bird is agitated.
