Normally I see (or hear) CommonYellowthroat warblers (Geothlypis trichas) in the upper reaches of trees, generally obscured by leaves.
I was really happy when I spotted this male yellowthroat perched on cattails, in an area in which I normally see only red-winged blackbirds. As a result, I was able to get a relatively unobstructed shot of this beautiful little bird.

Great shot, Mike! Those guys do tend to hang out in cattails but are almost impossible to photograph.
Nice shot. It is a beautiful bird.
It is indeed a beautiful bird. As I understand it, the males come north before the females do and this bird will probably be even more happy when the ladies arrive.
