According to
allaboutbirds.org, the common yellowthroats broad black mask lends a touch of highwayman’s
mystique to the male Common Yellowthroat. Look for these furtive,
yellow-and-olive warblers skulking through tangled vegetation, often at
the edges of marshes and wetlands. Females lack the mask and are much
browner, though they usually show a hint of warm yellow at the throat.
Yellowthroats are vocal birds, and both their
witchety-witchety-witchety songs and distinctive call notes help reveal the presence of this, one of our most numerous warblers.
This is a particularly handsome fella if you ask me, wonder what his
witchety-witchety-witchety songs sounds like?!?
