Then I mentally recorded their song...And heard another one...Oooh, this is getting kinda easy...

I now understood why I haven't seen any before, because it is not easy getting close...

Ever since discovering them, I am addicted to finding them, and with some luck, I found this female...

They have become one of my favorite birds because of their markings, and because of their elusiveness! Who doesn't love a challenge?
Source: All About Birds. A skulking masked warbler of wet thickets, the Common Yellowthroat is far more frequently heard than seen. Its "wich-i-ty, wich-i-ty, wich-i-ty" can be heard from the Yukon to Newfoundland, and from southern Florida to southern Mexico.

Beautiful photos - and they are hard to get!!
Nice shots, especially the first one. I usually find yellowthroats hiding in the reeds around ponds, but as you noted they are very hard to find.
I love warblers - and they are hard to catch - this is a great series.
Great shots! I've never been successful getting a decent shot of these birds. It always seems to be out of focus, or a really nice shot of green leaves where the bird used to be. :) Congrats.

Great shots as usual, really love the first one.
