Yellow-rumped Warbler (Setophaga coronata)

The Yellow-rumped Warbler, known for its vibrant yellow patches, is a small migratory bird that thrives in coniferous forests across North America. This adaptable species is often spotted in the Montreal area during spring, adding a splash of colour to the region's diverse avian population.

Identification and Whereabouts

The Yellow-rumped Warbler is a small bird distinguished by its vibrant yellow throat and a yellow patch on the head and each side in males. Both males and females feature a distinctive yellow spot on the back. The rest of the plumage is a mix of black, grey, and brown.

You can find the Yellow-rumped Warbler in bushes and trees within more secluded parks that feature coniferous or mixed forests. They typically arrive in the spring. Park Pointe-aux-Prairies is a recommended location to observe this species.
