Description
The Yellow-Rumped Warbler (Setophaga coronata) is a North American migratory songbird. They are mostly grayish brown with bright yellow patches on the rump, wings and under the throat. They breed in mature coniferous and mixed deciduous forests from eastern North America west to the Pacific, and south into western Mexico. In the American West and in the Appalachians, they live mainly in mountainous areas. In the Pacific Northwest and Northeast, they can live down at sea level as long as conifers are present. The diet of the yellow-rumped warbler consists primarily of insects. They are versatile foragers, catching insects in the air, on the ground and picking them from leaves. The yellow-rumped warbler winters in Mexico and the American Southwest. This yellow-rumped warbler was photographed while wintering in Bisbee, Arizona, USA.
