Yellow Warbler - Setophaga petechia
This bird hung out with me for awhile in the forest yesterday. It flitted from branch to branch, tilting its head when I talked to it. I only had my macro lens with me, but the bird came so close that I was able to get a shot.
Habitat: Deciduous forest
The Yellow Warbler, formerly "Dendroica petechia", is a New World warbler species. "Sensu lato", they make up the most widespread "Setophaga" species, breeding in almost the whole of North America and down to northern South America.
