Hooded Warbler (Setophaga citrina), Cibola NWR, La Paz County

This Hooded Warbler was mist-netted at a Bureau of Reclamation-run MAPS station and photographed by Chris Dodge on 05 May 2015

Rare transient and summer visitor with most records in the spring. A former review species, reports had increased but recently there was a decline in reports. However this year has seen multiple reports.

The female Hooded Warbler most closely resembles a female Wilson's Warbler, but has dark lores, an olive outline to the yellow face suggesting the male's hood, and large white tail spots which are clearly visible in this photograph.
