Dendroica coronata

The Yellow-rumped Warblers (Dendroica coronata) are here! They are one of the last migratory birds to arrive in our area and since they are a winter resident, we will see a lot of them over the next few months.

They are easily identified by their conspicuous yellow rump.

A favorite food of this particular warbler are wax myrtle berries, so you will often see them foraging in the wax myrtle bushes. In fact they were once called Myrtle Warblers.
