Yellow Warbler

About the Yellow Warbler

The Yellow Warbler is a bright, cheerful songbird that seems to glow in spring and summer woodlands. Males are brilliant yellow with reddish streaks on the chest, while females are softer and more evenly yellow. Often found near water, shrubs, and thickets, their sweet, musical song is a familiar sound of warmer months.
