Setophaga coronata
It has streaked backs of black on slate blue, white wing patches, a streaked breast, and conspicuous yellow patches on the crown, flank, and rump.
They spend the breeding season in mature coniferous and mixed coniferous-deciduous woodlands (such as in patches of aspen, birch, or willow). They migrate from Canada to Mexico. This one was in a mixed Oak and Pine wooded area when it was caught in a mist net and banded.
This specimen was one of six of this species (and 17 total) this date caught in a Charter school's ongoing banding project, banded, and released.
