The yellow-rumped warbler (Setophaga coronata) is a North American bird species that can be commonly observed all across the continent. Its extensive range connects both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of the U.S. as well as Canada and Central America, with the population concentrated in the continent's northern reaches during the breeding season and migrating southwards to southern North and Central America in the winter. It generally prefers coniferous forests or mixed coniferous-deciduous forests as its breeding habitat, while during the winter it can be found inhabiting more open areas such as shrublands that offer food resources. The yellow-rumped warbler is primarily insectivorous, though the species eats fruit such as juniper berries, especially in winter.
The species combines four closely related forms: the eastern myrtle warbler (spp. coronata); its western counterpart, Audubon's warbler (spp. group auduboni); the northwest Mexican black-fronted warbler (spp. nigrifrons); and the Guatemalan Goldman's warbler (spp. goldmani). All subspecies of the yellow-rumped warbler are characterized by the yellow rump as its name implies, while intra-group and inter-group variations in appearance exist in spite of many similarities. The myrtle and Audubon's groups, as two major subspecies, are distinguished by noticeable features such as differing throat colorations. Wikipedia →

Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report an Audubon's Warbler sighting in Torreón on a given day, based on 391 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 13th most-seen of the 86 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
January–February and November
In those months about 60% of wildlife watchers report an Audubon's Warbler in Torreón on a given day, against under 5% in June to September, the lowest months. Those are among Torreón's driest months, with about 10 mm of rain a month against 60 mm in September.
Between noon and 3 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Audubon's 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.
Yes
Of the 23 cities where we can rate Audubon's Warbler sightings, Torreón has the highest daily chance: about 40%. Next come Guadalajara (México, about 30%) and Sacramento (United States, about 20%).
Same genus: Setophaga

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Audubon's Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Torreón (391 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.
