Common Yellowthroats at Point Pelee NP




Male Common Yellowthroat












Each male normally has only one mate in his territory during a breeding season.  However, a female's mating calls often attract other males, and she may mate with them behind her mate's back.













Adults sometimes fall prey to carnivorous birds such as Merlins and Loggerhead Shrikes.  Occasionally they have more unexpected predators: one migrating yellowthroat was eaten by a Chuck-wills-widow, while another was found in the stomach of a largemouth bass.









Winter's here!




Why teacher's drink!
