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 20% of wildlife watchers report an Orange-crowned Warbler sighting in Jasper National Park on a given day, based on 151 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 36th most-seen of the 156 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
June
In that month about 30% of wildlife watchers report an Orange-crowned Warbler in Jasper National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April and November–December, the lowest months. That is one of Jasper National Park's wettest months, with about 110 mm of rain against 55 mm in April.
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.
17th of 44
Of the 44 parks where we can rate Orange-crowned Warbler sightings, Jasper National Park ranks 17th at about 20%. The best odds are in Reserva de la Biosfera Mariposa Monarca (Mexico, about 50%), Cabo Pulmo National Park (Mexico, about 50%) and Channel Islands National Park (United States, about 50%). All parks ranked.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Orange-crowned Warbler is recorded against all the birds logged in Jasper National Park (151 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
