More Common Warblers
These warblers are common in many areas of North America. The gallery at the top of this page shows many warblers. I picked the most easily recognized. They are more than in the photo gallery, most with yellow plumage somewhere on their bodies. All the warblers with yellow are best left until you have the identification of the most common and easily identified under your belt.
