N2  - The breeding season of the Yellow Warbler in the Galapagos appears to be relatively invariable: it coincides with the wet season, but is not initiated in response to rainfall as is the case in some other Galapagos land-birds. The proximate factors involved were not determined. The full molt follows immediately after the end of breeding. There is considerable variability in the timing of the annual cycle in different pairs in the same habitat.  Territories are maintained throughout the year, and pairs stay together, Song occurs in almost every month, but it is at a minimum about four months after the end of the molt. Young birds undergo two partial molts between their Juvenal and adult plumages, which correspond to the post-juvenal and first pre-nuptial molts of northern Yellow Warblers, though the interval between them is shorter and the second of them is more protracted in Galapagos Yellow Warblers
