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.
