    Yellow Warbler

    This male in alternate (breeding) plumage shows diagnostic chestnut streaking. The yellow underside to the tail is also a good field mark. Although still the most widespread warbler, they are in decline and no longer breed in Texas. Migrants are presumably the eastern race "S. p. aestiva."...
