Kentucky Warbler (Geothlypis formosa)

Posted on Feb 18, 2015

The Kentucky Warbler (Geothlypis formosa) is one of the more common neotropical migrants found in Cocobolo Nature Preserve. They can be found in a mixture of habitat types, but seem to prefer mature secondary growth. Our crew has even caught an individual in the same net on the same day two years apart, showing the incredible site fidelity some of these birds possess. Photographed by RTPI Affiliate Sean Graesser for the Meet Your Neighbours global biodiversity project in Panama while on assignment for the Roger Tory Peterson Institute of Natural History.
