Found often exclusively in pines, where it is often the commonest warbler. Relatively large bill, short undertail coverts make tail look longer. Throat color extends onto sides of neck, setting off dark cheek patch. Male is greenish-olive above, without streaking; throat and breast yellow, with dark streaks on sides of breast; belly and undertail coverts white. Tail has distinct fork
(clear on this one). Immature is brownish or brownish-olive above with whitish wing bars; male is dull yellow below, female mostly white.
This bird was spotted in my yard (thanks to staying-at-home order!) on a Japanese Maple tree. It was also drizzing at this time. See
1st winter bird here.
Compare with
Palm Warbler.
