The
yellow warbler is one of the most commonly seen birds at Magee Marsh,
since it breeds locally, both out in the swamp near the boardwalk and
also all along the long access road that winds through the park.
Nevertheless, the bird is difficult to photograph, because they are
wary of humans. The best time to see this species at Magee is
during the first three weeks of May. The bird is identified by
its extensive yellow and (sometimes faint) red breast stripes.
The prothonotary differs by
having no breast markings, and having blue-gray wings, and the blue-winged warbler differs by
having a strong black eye stripe and no breast bands.
