_Winter range._--The orange-crowned warbler winters =north= to
northwestern Washington (Seattle); central California (Marysville,
Bigtrees, Atwater, and Victorville); southern Nevada (near Searchlight);
central and southeastern Arizona (Fort Verde, Phoenix, and Tucson);
southern Texas (El Paso, Fort Clark, and Boerne); Louisiana (Monroe);
rarely Tennessee (Memphis); central Georgia (Macon and Augusta); and
southern South Carolina (Charleston). It has also occurred occasionally
in winter as far north as Madison, Wis.; Ann Arbor, Mich.; Canandaigua,
N. Y.; and Boston, Mass. =East= to South Carolina (Charleston); Georgia
(Savannah); and Florida (Jacksonville, Coconut Grove, and Royal Palm
Hammock). =South= to southern Florida (Royal Palm Hammock); the Gulf
coast of Florida (Ozona, Wakulla Beach, and Pensacola); Mississippi
(Biloxi); Louisiana (New Orleans); Texas (Rockport, Corpus Christi, and
Brownsville); Tamaulipas (Altamira); Veracruz (Orizaba); and Guatemala
(Chimuy and Tecpán). =West= to western Guatemala (Tecpán and Nenton);
Guerrero (Chilpancingo and Coyuca); Colima (Manzillo); Jalisco
(Mazatlán); Baja California (Cape San Lucas and Santa Margarita Island);
the Pacific coast of California (San Clemente and Santa Cruz Islands,
Santa Barbara, San Francisco, and Eureka); western Oregon (Eugene); and
northwestern Washington (Tacoma and Seattle).
The above ranges apply to the species as a whole, of which four
subspecies or geographic races are recognized: the eastern
orange-crowned warbler (_V. c. celata_) breeds from northern Alaska,
northern Mackenzie and northern Manitoba south to central Alaska,
northern Alberta, and Saskatchewan to southern Manitoba; the Rocky
Mountain orange-crowned warbler (_V. c. orestera_) breeds from northern
British Columbia, central Alberta, and southwestern Saskatchewan
southward east of the Cascades and Sierra Nevadas; the lutescent
orange-crowned warbler (_V. c. lutescens_) breeds in the Pacific coast
region from Cook Inlet, Alaska, south to southern California and
eastward in California to the west slope of the Sierra Nevadas; the
dusky orange-crowned warbler (_V. c. sordida_) is resident on the
southern coastal islands of California and locally on the adjacent
mainland.
_Migration._--The orange-crowned warbler is of rare occurrence in the
northeastern United States where it is reported more often in fall than
in spring.
