Yellow Warbler
Dendroica petechia Order PASSERIFORMES - Family PARULIDAE

Although many warblers are yellow, the Yellow Warbler is the most extensively yellow of any species. This widespread species of willows and mangroves is the only warbler with yellow tail spots.

Description
* Small songbird.
* Thin pointed bill.
* Yellow overall.
* Chestnut streaks on chest of male.

* Size: 12-13 cm (5-5 in)
* Wingspan: 16-20 cm (6-8 in)
* Weight: 9-11 g (0.32-0.39 ounces)

Sex Differences
Male bright yellow with reddish streaks on chest, female duller with red streaks absent or reduced.

Cool Facts
* In addition to the migratory form of the Yellow Warbler that breeds in North America, several other resident forms can be found in Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean. Males in these populations can have chestnut caps or even chestnut covering the entire head.

* The nests of the Yellow Warbler are frequently parasitized by the Brown-headed Cowbird. The warbler often builds a new nest directly on top of the parasitized one, sometimes resulting in nests with up to six tiers.

* Recent DNA-based studies indicate that the Chestnut-sided Warbler is the closest relative of the Yellow Warbler. Both sing similarly phrased songs, and Yellow Warblers regularly sing songs nearly identical to those of the Chestnut-sided Warbler.

SUPERBE !
Quel bel oiseau cette paruline jaune, la photographie est parfaite, le vert se marie bien avec le jaune et la mise au point est impeccable,

Félicitations Hélène,

Christian

SO nice and sharp picture. The bird is well detailed. One can understand how hard to take this kind of a photo of such a small bird.

Nice compo and POV. Birds colour nicely blend with the background.
TFS.

A beautiful yellow in a soft picture, nice !

Bonjour Hélène,
Très belle photo de cette paruline, dont nous n'avons que quelques cousines "coronata" et "striata" en Europe, mais invisibles en France. L'oiseau est magnifique et vous l'avez pris dans ce qui est sans doute la meilleure pose. Très bonne netteté et couleurs bien douces. Un peu de bruit sur le fond, que vous pouvez facilement corriger sans altérer le sujet. En tout cas, une très belle composition!

Ah Helene, what a little sweetie. She is such a cute little yellow bundle of feathers. I love the look in her eye too. This is a wonderful composition, thank you.
