Black-throated Grey Warbler

The Black-throated Gray Warbler is a songbird of the New World warbler family. It is 13 cm long and has black, grey, and white plumage. It breeds in western North America from British Columbia to New Mexico, and winters in Mexico and the southwestern United States. Common in in its forest habitats, it does not seem to be seriously threatened by human activities, unlike many migratory warblers.

The Black-throated Grey Warbler is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

The Black-throated Grey Warbler was first described by John Kirk Townsend from a specimen collected near today's Portland, Oregon. It was known to the Chinook inhabitants of the northwest coast, who called it Ah Kah a qual. Townsend described the species as Sylvia nigrescens, placing it with the other New World warlblers and the unrelated Old World warblers in the genus Sylvia. It is now placed in the genus Dendroica, along with about thirty other species. More
