About
Published on Jul 15, 2012 One of the dificult birds to video is the Common Yellowthroat. This bird is often down low in the tall grasses and dense willow thickets. It shows itself for just a few seconds and then flits off. One of my favorite spring and early summer singers. "Wichita witchita witchita" it sings! |

Location: Oakdale, MN Hello - my first time doing this, as I have become a "birder" during Covid. I was just on your website. I am 99.9% sure that I saw a Common Yellow Throat in my backyard, and I searched all the books that I own, but the black and white on its head is pretty distinct. I can't see it being anything else. It was flitting around in oak leaves and on small brush. We live in Oakdale, MN, and we have about 3-4 acres of oak trees and brush behind us, with a marsh about 100yards way. |
