YELLOW WARBLER

Yellow Warbler (Dendroica petechia)

Neotropical migrant and summer resident.

A common and widespread species in Ohio nesting in a variety of brushy, successional habitats statewide including riparian edges, fencelines, old reverting fields, and even sapling stage woods with brushy understories.

Yellow warblers are common inhabitants of shrub dominated riparian corridors in Ohio.

They become less common if these brushy corridors are allowed to revert toward a more mature wooded situation.
