The Yellow-rumped warbler (Dendroica coronata) is one of the most mutual winter migrants on both the east and west coast. These warblers prefer coniferous forest, but may likewise be found in deciduous forest. During the winter, these brightly-colored little birds may be found at back yard feeders. Yellow-rumped warblers are sexually dimorphic, meaning that males and females each have distinct appearances. Males are dark gray above with a black breast and conspicuous yellow highlights on their throat, head, and underneath each wing. Females are striped gray with yellow patches on their throat and underneath each wing. Both males and females have the yellow patch at the base of their tail that gives them their name.

Yellow-rumped warblers are distinctive in that this species was once considered to be two distinguished species, the eastern “Myrtle Warbler” and the western “Audubon’s Warbler,” based on slight divergences in aspect and song. Studies confirmed that the two populations interbreed for the duration of summer when their ranges overlap in western Canada. The eastern and western populations are now considered to be subspecies of the Yellow-rumped Warbler. Subspecies are plainly populations that are distinct sufficient that taxonomists name them separately for convenience. Subspecies are not distinct enough, however, that they can not interbreed.

Yellow-rumped warblers are mainly insectivorous, and tend to eat insects more many times in the western U.S. than in the eastern percentage of the country. During the winter when insects are not as plentiful, the warblers will eat berries and visit feeders. This species is the only warbler capable to digest the waxy coating found on bayberries and wax myrtle berries. Male birds tend to forage higher up in the canopy than females, and both males and females may be seen skimming the surface of a body of water to gather insects. These birds are highly acrobatic, and may snatch insects in mid-air.

During the breeding season, breeding pairs many times lay and raise two broods. Males court females with energetic displays of feather-puffing and fluttering. The female builds a cup-shaped nest on a branch out of bark, plants, and roots, and lines the nest with feathers, most times weaving the feathers so that the tips curl over and hide the eggs. Four to five white eggs are laid for each clutch. Yellow-rumped warblers are most times target hosts for cowbirds, a parasitic species that lays it is eggs in the nests of other birds. Uniquely, female Yellow-rumped warblers have the capacity to recognize cowbird eggs, not similar to a great deal of species, and will inter the egg deep in the nest and cover it will nesting material to prevent it from being incubated.

Incubation lasts from 12 to 13 days, and for the duration of the firstborn days of the chicks’ lives, both parents cooperate to provide them with food. The chicks fledge after 10 to 12 days. Immature birds are streaked with soft gray and have the distinguishable yellow markings beneath the wings and at the base of the tail.
