Common Yellowthroat

 

Common Yellowthroats are small songbirds with chunky, rounded heads and medium-length, slightly rounded tails.

Adult males are bright yellow below, with a sharp black face mask and olive upperparts. A thin whitish line sets off the black mask from the head and neck.

Common Yellowthroats spend much of their time skulking low to the ground in dense thickets and fields, searching for small insects and spiders.

Common Yellowthroats live in open areas with thick, low vegetation, ranging from marsh to grassland to open pine forest. Cornell All About Birds
