Common Yellowthroat

He’s back! It’s been amazing to hear the sprightly song of my favorite male yellowthroat singing out from the wet area behind my house. It’s nice to see that his punctuality hasn’t left him; this is probably the fourth year in a row I’ve had him return in the third week of April. He remains as friendly as ever, and despite the cutting down of his favorite cattails only a week before his return, is still right at home in the habitat he’s frequented for quite a while now. In addition to him, the other resident male yellowthroats have returned, and a couple Ovenbirds and Wood Thrushes as well. Bring on the rest of the migrants!
