Yellow-rumped Warbler, Dendroica coronata

13 - 15 cm. The male breeding Yellow-rumped Warbler, also known as "Audubon's Warbler", is a dull bluish above streaked with black, and its breast and flanks are blackish. It also has a yellow throat and large white patches in its folded wings. This warbler inhabits coniferous and mixed forests. They sing from the high canopy of the forest. Its song is a colorless buzzy warble with a sharp chek. The birds constantly chirp a "contact call" that keeps the flock together. It is widespread during migration and in winter.
