Yellow-rumped Warbler
Dendroica coronata
Synopsis: Breeds widely in conifer forests of the Cascades and Siskiyous eastward, and locally from the Cascades westward to the coast. Most notable are the early and mid-summer records from the margins of the Willamette Valley, Sherman County, southern Malheur County (Oregon Canyon Mountains), eastern Lake County, and southern Harney County. Some of these may represent late migrants or non-breeding individuals.
