This Yellow Warbler was practicing its dance step near the shore of Quissett Harbor early Saturday afternoon. Warblers are small active birds in constant motion. Yellow Warblers are among the first wave of Warblers to arrive on Cape Cod in early May.
They are frequently found at woodland edges and on low tree branches, shrubs and bushes. They have a bright yellow head, a short pointed bill, and reddish streaking on the breast. Their repeated cheerful calls sound like “sweet-sweet-sweet I’m so sweet” according to All About Birds at The Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
The Cape Cod Bird Club reports recent sightings of a Blackburnian warbler, a Nashville warbler, Yellow-rumped warblers, a Black-throated green warbler, and a Black-and-White warbler.
