The orange-crowned warbler (Leiothlypis celata) is a small songbird of the New World warbler family. The orange-crowned warbler was formally described in 1822 by the American zoologist Thomas Say under the binomial name Sylvia celatus from a specimen collected on an expedition from Pittsburgh to the Rocky Mountains led by Stephen Harriman Long. The specific epithet celatus is Latin and means "secret" or "hidden". The type locality is Omaha, Nebraska. The orange-crowned warbler is now placed in the genus Leiothlypis that was introduced by the Dutch ornithologist George Sangster in 2008. The genus name is derived from the Ancient Greek λειος/leios meaning "plain" and θλυπις/thlupis, an unknown small bird mentioned by Aristotle.

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report an Orange-crowned Warbler sighting in Puebla on a given day, based on 231 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 32nd most-seen of the 164 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
December
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report an Orange-crowned Warbler in Puebla on a given day, against under 5% in May to July, the lowest months. That is one of Puebla's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain against 170 mm in September.
Between 8 and 11 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Orange-crowned Warbler sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
8th of 41
Of the 41 cities where we can rate Orange-crowned Warbler sightings, Puebla ranks 8th at about 30%. The best odds are in Tijuana (México, about 50%), San Diego (United States, about 40%) and Monterrey (México, about 40%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Orange-crowned Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Puebla (231 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
