Description
The Yellow Warbler (Setophaga petechia), a member of the family Parulidae, is a common warbler species found throughout most of the United States. It is found low in trees, along woodland edges and orchards, and near wet areas. It measures about 5 inches in length and about 0.33 ounces in weight. Being the most yellow of the New World warblers, the breeding male has a yellow face, mostly yellow body, chestnut streaks on its breast and flanks, black eyes, plump body, and a short yellow tail. Much geographic variation is seen in this species, resulting in the distinction of 37 sub-species divided among four groups. Preferred diet includes insects and arthropods captured by gleaning, and occasionally fruit.
This adult Yellow Warbler resting on its nest in a tree was photographed at the Magee Marsh on the afternoon of 5-18-2023. Magee Marsh is located east of Toledo, Ohio on the southern shore of Lake Erie, and is a major stopover of migrating warblers during spring migration. I used a Nikon Z9 camera body and a Nikkor 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR telephoto lens to capture this image. Settings: 1/3200 sec, f/5.6, ISO 1100.
I am honored that my photograph was featured in the Fine Art America groups:
