SUMMARY
Rare and vagrant birds in Iceland:
American Wood Warblers*
This paper deals with American Wood War-
blers (Parulidae) in Iceland. All records until
the end of 1995 are included. Altogether 31
records (32 individual birds) comprising 10
species, are listed and discussed. Only 3 of the
species have been found in Iceland several
times, viz. Northem Parala (Parula americana),
Yellow-ramped Warbler (Dendroica coronata)
and Blackpoll Warbler (Dendroica striata). The
others have been found once or twice, one of
them, Blackbumian Warbler (Dendroica fusca),
only on board a ship in Icelandic waters. One
species in category D on the Icelandic list,
Black-throated Green Warbler (Dendroica
virens), is also briefly discussed.
The data given for each record, are: locality
(place, district, county), number of birds if more
than one, date or time period, sex (male = <3, fe-
male = 9) and age (imm, ad) if known, name of
observer(s) or reference, if the record is previ-
ously published. Most of the records are con-
firmed by specimens and preserved as study skins
in the Icelandic Institute of Natural History, des-
ignated by a RM-catalogue number (RM =
Reykjavík Museum), except onc in a private col-
lection.
Only few records prior to 1979 have been pub-
lished before, but all records from 1979 onwards
have appeared in annual rare bird reports. They
are reviewed here. Full information of the records
is given in the Icelandic text. The species are as
follows:
