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?
