Abstract

On 25 May 1983 I made in Laramie, Albany County, the first reported observation in Wyoming of a Yellow-throated Warbler (Dendroica dominica). Laramie is in a grassland basin at 2194 m (7200 ft) elevation and is a treed residential area. Sightings of this bird (Figure 1) were frequent from 25 May 1983 through 27 May 1983.

I obtained the following description with 7× binoculars: yellow throat and upper breast; white abdomen; black streaking over white on sides; black auricular; bottom of white eye stripe touching top of eye; white patches on either side of the neck just posterior to the auricular; gray back without spots; dark gray crown; and white wing bars. Additional notes from color 35mm slides include a straight black bill and pale pink legs and feet.
