Bird Spotlight
Welcome the vibrant Yellow-rumped Warbler! As one of the earliest migrants to return, this hardy little bird needs a safe place to rest and refuel. Your backyard can make a difference by providing fresh water, high-energy foods, and collision-free windows.
The Yellow-rumped Warbler’s migratory journey spans thousands of miles, with these resourceful birds traveling from their southern wintering grounds in the southern United States, Mexico, and Central America back to their northern breeding territories across Canada and the northern United States. This early return makes them one of the first signs of spring migration, a season when your bird-friendly yard can become a vital rest stop for these remarkable travelers.
