Common Yellowthroat
Geothlypis trichas
Common Yellowthroat · Everglades National Park · 6 February 2026
A male Common Yellowthroat in the tangled cover of the Everglades in February, low to the ground and rarely still for long. It is one of the most numerous and widespread warblers in North America, breeding in wet thickets from coast to coast, and one of the few that will winter as far north as the southern United States rather than continuing to the tropics.
The black mask edged above in pale grey. It was one of the first American birds described to science, from a specimen sent to Linnaeus from Maryland in 1766.
Birds, insects, plants and other wildlife, mostly from Brooklyn, with some from further afield.
