Common Yellowthroat Geothlypis trichas
Aves > Passeriformes > Parulidae
A common breeder in the Montreal area with preference for marshes and wetlands found within dense vegetation and shrubs. Winters in the South of the USA, Mexico and Caribbean Islands. The bird feeds on insects captured in dense vegetation or sometimes midair.
The yellow throat is a distinctive characteristic for this bird. Males have a black mask.
I observed this species in more rural areas and parks.
