This colorful songbird migrates through Imperial Valley in the spring and again in fall.
Look for a yellow body with rusty streaks down its breast. Compare with the yellow-colored Wilson's Warbler which has a black cap.

Yellow Warblers are so busily beautiful!
Any bird that eats bugs is a friend of mine.
