WILDLIFE TRIVIA QUESTION of the WEEK

A group of hikers go bird watching at Point Arena Stornetta public lands along the California  Coast. BLM photo

What bird am I? I was likely spotted by hikers on the Point Arena-Stornetta coastal bird walk this weekend. The male of my species might be considered chauvinist by some human behavioral standards. For example, males tend to forage higher in trees than females, and when courting females, they accentuate their yellow, black and white feathers by raising their wings and fluffing their crown feathers, and hop from perch to perch, making chipping noises at us.

Other things about me..

(a.) We are probably the most frequently encountered wood warblers.
(b.) We are the most versatile foragers compared to other warblers. We catch flying insects, eat wild seeds and eat berries in fall.
(c.) We are the only warbler able to digest the waxes found in bayberries and wax myrtles.
