Grey-crowned Yellowthroat

Geothlypis poliocephala

The Grey-crowned Yellowthroat, scientifically known as Geothlypis poliocephala, is a charming bird belonging to the Parulidae family. It is distinguished by its subtle yet attractive plumage.

Identification Tips

When attempting to identify this species, look for its defining grey crown, which contrasts with the yellow throat for which it is named. The bird's overall appearance is a blend of understated greys and yellows, typical of the Geothlypis genus.

Habitat

The Grey-crowned Yellowthroat favors subtropical or tropical moist shrubland environments. It is also known to inhabit areas that were once forests but have since been heavily degraded.

Distribution

This species has a broad range, with sightings reported in Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, and even parts of the United States.

Conservation status

The IUCN Red List categorizes the Grey-crowned Yellowthroat as Least Concern, indicating that, at present, there are no immediate threats to its population levels that would warrant a higher degree of conservation action.

A great app
Enjoying it immensely and finding it useful too. Recording the different birds and counting them is showing me how the present climate is affecting them all. I've trebled the numbers by planting native hedging. A great app.

A Friendly Place
I love using the bird app, I have a pretty good knowledge of birds. But I do have some gaps in it, so it’s nice to have a safe space to check on a sighting to confirm the species. It’s really enjoyable and I love the badges you can collect. It’s like a real life Pokémon go.

Great app for beginner twitchers
I’ve had a passion of photographing birds for a long time now but have only just gotten into proper birdwatching, and this app is brilliant for those just getting started. There is a great sense of community among users and the app is very easy to use and professional. Awesome app altogether

Excellent! We've been waiting for an app like this! Thank you! It would be nice if you could assign additional birds to sessions later!

Easy to use and accurate
Love this app. It is easy to use and accurate, Their backup communication is really good. I noted a missing species. All through the process, I was kept informed about the progress in correcting the information. I now have the corrected, updated version. 😁 Thanks!

Awesome App
I really enjoy using this app! It is such a friendly community of bird-lovers who are happy to help if I need ID advice. It’s been great motivation to get outdoors and go birding more! 10/10 😍😍

Makes you want to spot birds more
I think this app is fun. It makes you want to spot birds more so I guess in a way it encourages you to get out and about instead of sitting in front of the TV.

Gets me outdoors more
I'm still loving this app. I use it most days & gets me outdoors more. Enjoying watching others progress and photo's, it's improved my wellbeing.... I love this app! I can keep a record of sightings and see what others have seen too.
