Yellow Warbler

Setophaga petechia

Description:

Yellow Warblers are small, evenly proportioned songbirds with medium-length tails and rounded heads. For a warbler, the straight, thin bill is relatively large. Yellow Warblers are uniformly yellow birds. Males are a bright, egg-yolk yellow with reddish streaks on the underparts. Both sexes flash yellow patches in the tail. The face is unmarked, accentuating the large black eye.

Habitat:

Sitting in a butterfly bush near streams.

Thanks jamiewgoodspeed :) Not sure if it and the previous ones are Yellow Warblers or Orange Crowned. They both come through in batches this time of year.
