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. 

  • Yellow Warbler (Dendroica petechia)
  • Common Yellowthroat (Geothlypis trichas)
  • Yellow Breasted Chat (Icteria virens) – the largest species of Warbler
  • Yellow rumped Warbler (Dendroica coronata)
  • American Redstart (Setophaga ruticilla)

Now is the time to find some birding field trips to join this spring. Search on the Internet, Facebook, local environmental centers and Audubon groups. Have a good local birding group? You can share your groups info in the comments below.
