Species in Focus: Yellow-rumped Warbler
The Yellow-rumped Warbler is an abundant, versatile warbler found throughout Canada and the western United States during the summer.
They are easily identified by the bright yellow patch on their rump just above their tail.
The males sing a slow, soft warble or trill in two phrases, which is usually faster in the second part.
This species was once considered to be three separate species, and Kananaskis Country is right in the midst of the hybrid zone of two of them: the Myrtle Warbler, and the Audubon’s Warbler.
For this species in focus episode I’ll be sharing my recordings of the Yellow-rumped Warbler at Little Elbow PRA, Prairie View, Allen Bill Park, and Long Lake Provincial Park (not in Kananakis, but in Alberta).
