Yellow-rumped Warbler

Description:

Yellow-rumped Warblers are a relatively large warbler with a large head, sturdy bill, and long, narrow tail. In summer, males and female are gray with flashes of white in the wings and yellow on the face, sides, and rump. Males are much more vibrantly colored than females whom are duller and may show some brown. In the winter months, both sexes’ colors become dulled. The first picture is a female and the second picture is a male warbler.

Habitat:

In the summer months, Yellow-rumped Warblers tend to inhabit coniferous forests. During the cooler fall and winter months, when you typically find the Yellow-rumped Warbler on Spring Lake, they inhabit open areas with scattered trees or fruiting shrubs.
