The Warbler book by Dunn, etc., has a section about habitat for each species. I was just reading the book last night about the Yellow-throated Warbler. The Yellow-throated Warbler , according to the book, prefers bottomland woods but apparently prefers specific tree(s) depending upon the subspecies. From my experience, as Wilbur said, the Yellow -throated Warbler is frequently seen around Sycamore Trees (bordering water) in places along the C & O Canal. I think we have 2 subspecies in Maryland. One subspecies likes Sycamore Trees. I think the other subspecies which I believe is found in the more eastern part of Maryland may prefer habitat including pine trees (near water?) and not Sycamore Trees. I do not have much experience with Yellow-throated Warblers outside the area around the C & O Canal. So, I also was wondering about the habitat preference of Yellow-throated Warblers on the Eastern Shore and the Southern Western Shore. And do the Yellow-throated in Carroll/Howard/Baltimore counties show a preference for Sycamore Trees near water?
