I have seen Orange-crowned Warblers on many occasions and I have yet to see any trace of orange in the crown. Wikipedia says "the orange patch on the crown is not usually visible". Despite its name they are rather dull, featureless warblers. This is reflected in the scientific name Leiothlypis celata. The genus comes from leios meaning plain, and thlupis, an unknown bird mentioned by Aristotle, and celatus means hidden. They breed right across Canada and Alaska and also throughout the western United States and I photographed this one on Vancouver Island. Most Orange-crowned Warblers are migratory and winter in Central America and Mexico.
