A light stripe separates the black mask from the brownish crown. Females are a dull version of the male with a bit of an eyering, but without the black mask.

Taxonomy: Passeriformes, Parulidae.

Favored Habitat: Heard in shrubby habitats, especially near water.

Where to Find: Around Las Vegas, look for Common Yellowthroats during migration in places with water like Corn Creek, Willow Springs, and the Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve.

Comments:

If you were this tasty bug or perhaps a little caterpillar, this might be the last face you ever see!
