A highly adaptable and widespread North American warbler, easily recognizable by its distinctive yellow patch on the rump, which is visible in all plumages. It's one of the most common and adaptable warblers.
Where to spot
Breeds across most of Canada and Alaska, the western US, and the northeastern US. Winters widely across the southern US, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean.
How to spot
Look for them in a wide variety of habitats, from coniferous forests to suburban parks and coastal areas. The bright yellow rump patch is the easiest way to identify them, especially in flight. They often sing a loose, trilling song.
When to spot
Year-round in some southern parts of its range. Most visible during spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) migration when they are abundant, and throughout the winter.

The Yellow-rumped Warbler is unique among North American warblers for its ability to digest the waxy coating of bayberries and wax myrtles, allowing it to winter much farther north than most other warbler species.
