The Common Yellowthroat is one of North America's most widespread and recognizable warblers, easily identified by its bright yellow throat and breast, olive-green back, and the striking black mask on males.
Where to spot
Breeds across almost all of North America, from Canada to Mexico. Winters in the southern U.S., Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean.
How to spot
Look in dense, low vegetation near water, such as marshes, wet fields, and overgrown ditches. They can be elusive but males often pop up to sing. Listen for their characteristic song.
When to spot
Best observed during the breeding season (late spring to summer) when males are singing actively. Also seen during spring (April-May) and fall (August-October) migration.

Its distinctive "wichity-wichity-wichity" song is a familiar sound across North American wetlands and scrublands, often sung from an exposed perch atop dense vegetation.
