Warbler Showdown; Bracket 5, Poll 3
Common Yellowthroat (Geothlypis trichas)
IUCN Rating: Least Concern
Range: migratory; common indeed! One of the few birds found in all 50 States, though it's more common in the East than the West. Also found breeding in almost all Canadian Providences, save Nunavut and other polar regions. Overwinters in Southesat US, Mexico, the Caribbean, Belize, Honduras, Guatemala, and Nicaragua, scarcely into Costa Rica/Panama.
Habitat: prefers wet areas, though can be found in prairie habitats as well- the preference seems to be for dense growth and low vegetation, which are common in wet areas.
Subspecies: 13
Southern Yellowthroat (Geothlypis velata)
IUCN Rating: (not rated)
Range: sedentary; sub-Amazon Brazil, stretching west to Peru and south to northern Argentina. The extreme southern portion, however, are austral migrants (moving south for breeding, then north for overwintering).
Habitat: found in a variety of humid habitats: Araucária forests, damp grassland, marshy thickets, as well as seasonally flooded savannas.
Subspecies: None
Image Sources: Common (Brad Imhoff), Southern (Phillip Edwards)

[CM] Birds - Biyaw 1
How are we already to our second-last bird post? Holy cow, these are flying by! Today we’ve got the first half of biyaw* species - birds that are hunted often and easily by the Clan. This is the longest list by far, as ClayClan considers most birds to be fair game.
Below are translations for two ducks, warblers, and... a ton more!
Bufflehead (Bucephala albeola) - Mwek
Small big-headed duck; females are black-and-white, males are largely white with glossy head feathers. Present in winter, spring, and fall. Have the same diet as mallards. The first time I saw buffleheads, they were on a pond in Missouri just after New Year’s - they’re cute little fellows!
Hey, didn’t we see this before? I moved buffleheads from eyawoon* to biyaw* after posting the eyawoon* list - woops! They’ll be here from now on.
Green-winged teal (Anas carolinensis) - Hapwip
Small duck with dark brown and green markings on the head. Present year-round but most common in spring and fall. Feed on various grasses, insects, molluscs, that sort of thing.
Yellow-billed cuckoo (Coccyzus americanus) - Oo’oo
Medium-sized bird with clean brown-and-white feathers and a curved yellow beak. Present in summer and fall. Feed on insects (notably caterpillars and cicadas), eggs, snails, small reptiles, and fruit.
Sora (Porzana carolina) - Kipipip
Small chickenlike rail with brown-and-gray feathers and a bright yellow bill. Present in summer and fall, but more common in summer. Feed on seeds, insects, and snails.
American goldfinch (Spinus tristis) - Assuassu
Handsome yellow birds - males have clean black wings and foreheads, females are duller overall. Abundant year-round. Feed on seeds. Goldfinches are one of my favorite species - I plan to get a tattoo of one!
Rusty blackbird (Euphagus carolinus) - Shashwee
Blackbird with seasonal coloration; in winter, males and females are mottled black-and-brown, but in spring breeding males develop crisp black feathers. Present year-round, but most common in spring and fall. Feed on insects, small aquatic animals, seeds, and sometimes other birds.
Common grackle (Quiscalus quiscula) - Chup
Big blackbird with glossy black feathers, females being duller, and white eyes. Present year-round but most abundant in spring and early summer, falling in numbers as the year goes on. Feed on numerous things; insects, frogs, minnows, lizards, and eggs.
Yellow warbler (Setophaga petechia) - Swee’k’k
Small yellow bird, males having reddish breast streaks. Present in early summer through fall. Feed mostly on insects.
Black-and-white warbler (Mniotilta varia) - Eekeek
Very distinct mottled black-and-white bird. Present in summer and fall. Feed on insects.
Palm warbler (Setophaga palmarum) - Swee
Unique warbler with a colorful face and duller body. Present in spring and summer. Feed on insects. Unlike other warblers, palm warblers spend much of their time foraging on the ground.
Yellow-rumped warbler (Setophaga coronata) - Pfswee
Distinct gray-and-black bird with white spots on the forehead and flanks. Present year-round, but abundant in summer and fall. Feed on insects and fruit. Like some other birds, yellow-rumped warblers display different coloration based on their location - “myrtle” warblers are the ones present on ClayClan territory, but there’s also the striking black-and-yellow “Goldman’s” down south!
Northern parula (Setophaga americana) - Rreep
Blue, yellow, and white warbler. Present in summer and fall. Feed on insects. Parulas nest on hanging mosses and lichens high in the tree canopy, so their eggs are rarely encountered by Clan cats.
Common yellowthroat (Geothlypis trichas) - Wishywee
Yellow-and-tan warbler, males with a striking black mask over their eyes. Present in summer and fall. Feed mostly on insects. Wishywee is another one of my favorite words :]
