Yellowthroats are common throughout most of the United States and southern Canada.
They are voracious insect eaters, preying on leaf-eating types such as the cankerworm and webworm caterpillar as well as aggravating garden pests like aphids. Habitiat is marshy places, and the yellowthroat's nest is a mixture of grasses, sedges, bark and ferns sometimes attached to reeds, cattails and other marsh plants. The male is noted for it's aerial displays during courtship, repeatedly darting out of the brush to loop in flight at 25-100 feet in the air, letting out a sharp call. Canoes, kayaks, and kids welcome. Upper Oconee Watershed Network UOWN is dedicated to promoting citizen awareness.
