The Yellow Warbler is a bright and widespread warbler, almost entirely yellow. Males have rusty streaks on their breast and flanks, while females are plainer. Its cheerful song is a familiar sound.
Where to spot
Breeds across almost all of North America, from Alaska and Canada south to Mexico. Winters from southern North America through Central America and northern South America.
How to spot
Look in shrubby areas, willow thickets, riparian zones, and forest edges. They are often quite conspicuous due to their bright color and energetic foraging. Listen for their clear, whistled "sweet-sweet-sweet, I'm so sweet!" 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.

This species is a frequent host of the obligate brood parasitic Brown-headed Cowbird. Yellow Warblers often react by building new nest layers over cowbird eggs, sometimes creating multi-storied nests to bury parasitic eggs.
