Yellow-throated warblers will occasionally hybridize with northern parulas (Setophaga americana), resulting in a hybrid species known as Sutton's warblers. [5] Sutton's warblers lack the black streaks bordering the breast indicative of yellow-throated warblers, and have a suffused greenish-yellow wash on their back, which is also not indicative of yellow-throated warblers.

The common yellowthroat (Geothlypis trichas), also known as the yellow bandit [2] or Maryland yellow-throat, [3] is a New World warbler. It is an abundant breeder in North America , ranging from southern Canada to central Mexico .
Conversely masked yellowthroat can be split to three or even four species. The name 'yellowthroat' is sometimes used as an alternate name for the yellow-throated leaflove. [2] The geographical isolation of the various populations of this mainly sedentary group has led to its genetic divergence and speciation.
The palm warbler is a member of genus Setophaga. Setophaga is a genus of birds of the New World warbler family Parulidae. It contains at least 34 species.The Setophaga warblers are an example of adaptive radiation with the various species using different feeding techniques and often feeding in different parts of the same tree.
The mangrove warbler (erithachorides group; 12 subspecies [4]) tends to be larger than other yellow warbler subspecies groups, averaging 12.5 cm (4.9 in) in length and 11 g (0.39 oz) in weight. It is resident in the mangrove swamps of coastal Middle America and northern South America; S. p. aureola is found on the oceanic Galápagos Islands . [ 4 ]
Townsend's warbler has a yellow face with a black stripe across its cheeks extending into an ear patch, a thin pointed bill, two white wing bars, olive upperparts with black streaks on their backs and flanks, and a white belly. [7] Adult males have a black cap, black throat and yellow lower breast; females have a dark cap and a yellow throat.
Explanations for the disappearance may be changes in habitat or increasing air pollution, which limited the growth of epiphytes on trees that the warbler depended on for nesting. A further explanation is the clear-cutting and bog draining that have significantly reduced the amount of suitable habitat in eastern North America.
