Salt Marsh Common Yellowthroat

The Salt Marsh Common Yellowthroat is a subspecies of the wider-ranging Common Yellowthroat, and is the only warbler endemic to San Francisco Bay’s tidal marshes. It is a Bird Species of Special Concern and prefers slightly taller vegetation like tule and cattails for nesting. Even with the male’s bright yellow color, it can often be hard to see, but you may catch its call that sounds like a rubber band snapping!
