Yellow-rumped warbler

Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, May 17, 2018.


Setophaga coronata
The Yellow-rumped Warbler is the only warbler able to digest the waxes found in bayberries and wax myrtles. Its ability to use these fruits allows it to winter farther north than other warblers, sometimes as far north as Newfoundland.
The oldest recorded Yellow-rumped Warbler was at least 7 years old.
