Black-eared Warbler (Basileuterus melanotis)
About the Black-eared Warbler
The black-eared warbler or Costa Rican warbler (Basileuterus melanotis) is a species of bird in the family Parulidae, the New World warblers. It is found in Costa Rica and Panama. The black-eared warbler was formally described in 1868 with its current binomial Basileuterus melanotis. For much of the twentieth century it was treated as a subspecies of the three-striped warbler (M. tristriatus). It and other subspecies were recognized as full species based on studies published in 2012 and 2014. The black-eared warbler is monotypic.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 22 recordings for this species: 12 CC BY-NC-SA · 6 CC BY-NC-ND. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
