The Bandit! In my quest to introduce you to new birds, I bring you the sounds of a male Common Yellowthroat singing his heart out on the Florida prairie. Not to be confused with the Yellow-throated Warbler see: https://youtu.be/XU7nUzVMp8g the Yellowthroat is actually more noteworthy for the black mask like band across the eyes. Anything but "common", this handsome warbler is not rare, but elusive to see and film as it flits among the brush and tall grasses, but breeding season brings them out in the open to strut their stuff.
A broad black mask lends a touch of highwayman’s mystique to the male Common Yellowthroat. Look for these furtive, yellow-and-olive warblers skulking through tangled vegetation, often at the edges of marshes and wetlands. Females lack the mask and are much browner, though they usually show a hint of warm yellow at the throat. Yellowthroats are vocal birds, and both their witchety-witchety-witchety songs and distinctive call notes help reveal the presence of this, one of our most numerous warblers.
