Female Yellowthroat

On July 21, 2017July 21, 2017 By Mike and Christy

We spotted this Female Common Yellowthroat quickly moving in and out of the bushes while on a morning walk. While we most often see the males perched out in the open singing we very rarely have seen the female out in the open like this. She only stayed for a minute or two then flew off into a marshy area several hundred yards away.

  Probably had young to feed back at the nest and was on a bug catching mission.

Good for you (and for us). I have only seen males in nature. She is gorgeous.

  Yes it was a nice surprise as, like you, we typically only see the male out singing their wonderful songs.
