Common Yellowthroat - Geothlypis trichas

Paruline masquée

Common Yellowthroat
Unlike so many warblers that occur in my region at this time of year, the Common Yellowthroat stays to nest, or at least some do, although it is one of the most widespread of all the New World warblers. They breed across the continent, south of the tree line, south deep into Mexico. They winter normally from the southeastern US south through parts of Mexico and Central America and most of the West Indies and into northern South America. There are several reasonably distinct races but it is the nominate race, which I have shown, that is found here in southern Ontario. They love wetlands, including small, flooded grassy areas, and they have a very distinctive song.
