Golden-cheeked Warbler (Dendroica chrysoparia)

Photos by John Ingram

about 5 inches longBoth sexes have a black line through each eye, across an otherwise immaculate yellow face.

Older males have a black back and crown…

…and a black “bib”

Females and some young males have variable amounts of green on the back and crown…

Unlike those of vireos, warbler bills are slender, like forceps

… and black on the throat
