The
yellow-rumped ("myrtle") warbler is a very common bird at Magee Marsh
in late April and early May. The most prominent field marks are
typically the yellow patches in the armpit and the streaking on the
breast. The yellow on the yead and rump are sometimes harder to
see. There is much variation in plumage in spring, with some
males
having very striking black patterning on the face and breast.
