Yellow-Throated Warbler

This warbler favours tall pines, sycamores and riverside trees across the southeastern United States, foraging methodically along high branches and creeping along bark in a way that recalls a nuthatch more than a typical warbler. Its song is a clear, descending series of whistled notes, often delivered from high in the canopy where the bird itself can be hard to spot. Spring, soon after birds return to breed, is the best time to hear singing males before the canopy fills in fully.
