Common Yellowthroat Traditional Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
This series is dedicated to Vermont's nesting wood warblers, a
family of small North American songbirds, many of whom sport bright
colors and sing songs that can be learned with patience and
practice. They return from their wintering grounds just as the
leaves—and insects—begin to come out.
The Common Yellowthroat is Vermont's most common warbler. It nests
in overgrown fields, hedgerows, wet shrubby wetlands, and along the
edges of woods and fields. It is another of the loud singers,
booming out "Wichety, wichety, wichety" or "Get your ticket, get
your ticket, get your ticket." A black mask makes the yellow throat
even more striking. The rest of the plumage is olive-brown, so it
it is facing away from you, it can be frustratingly difficult to
see.
Abundance and habitat data are from Birdwatching in Vermont
by Ted Murin and Bryan Pfeiffer.
Co-FTF honors go to RSAKVT and kachingkt.
