Yellow Warbler
Setophaga petechia
Yellow Warblers breed in shrubby wetlands, streamside thickets, and young woodland across much of North America, then many migrate to Central and northern South America. They actively glean caterpillars, beetles, and other insects from foliage, and may also take small fruits. Males defend nesting territories with persistent song and chipping calls, while both parents tend a cup-shaped nest hidden in dense vegetation. Adult males often show fine reddish breast streaks, especially in eastern populations.
