Myrtle warbler (male)

Setophaga coronata coronata

Description:

Males are distinguished by their black mask. The Myrtle warbler is distinguished from the Audubon warbler by the white eye stripe and white throat. Also known as the Yellow-rumped warbler, it has dark streaks on upper part of breast with yellow patches on sides and rump. They have a broken white eye ring.

Habitat:

Spotted at the edge of a deciduous forest at the Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge.

Notes:

Yellow-rumped Warblers typically forage in the outer tree canopies at middle heights. They're active, and you'll often see them sally out to catch insects in midair, sometimes on long flights. In winter they spend lots of time eating berries from shrubs, and they often travel in large flocks.
