Field Notes
Description:

Habitat:
Woodland trail.
Notes:
Common Yellowthroat is a warbler that behaves more like a wren: bouncing through thick, low vegetation and reeds, rarely far above the ground, and heard more often than seen. A quick glimpse of this skulker reveals a short-winged, short-tailed bird, often with a jauntily cocked tail. The male is easily identified by its black "bandit" mask. In the U.S. Midwest, it is also known as the Yellow Bandit.
