The common yellowthroat is a familiar
(if a bit secretive) resident in marshes, swamps, and wet grassy fields. Males (like this one) are brilliant yellow underneath with a striking white-fringed black mask; females are a subtle olive-yellow color. This unusually cooperative male was defending a territory at the San Jacinto Wildlife Area east of Riverside, California. |
