Common Yellowthroat
 | I’m a year-round Florida resident, although you might notice me more in the wintertime, when my northern friends are visiting the Sunshine State. I’m a fan of insects, and if you have an aphid-covered bush in your yard, I’ll happily come to take care of it for you! Most Likely Found: In the marsh When: Year-Round Where I've photographed: Circle B Bar Reserve, Lake Apopka, Mead Gardens, Orlando Wetlands, Viera Wetlands Read more: Common Yellowthroat at Cornell Lab of Ornithology |
