A Yellow-throated Vireo (Vireo flavifrons) in a Shagbark Hickory (Carya ovata) along the Conewago Creek east of Conewago Falls. This Neotropical migrant nests sparingly along stream courses throughout the Lower Susquehanna River Watershed.
A Yellow-throated Warbler (Setophaga dominica) searches for insects among the branches of a flowering Black Walnut (Juglans nigra). In river bottomlands, they nest almost exclusively in the canopy of massive Eastern Sycamores trees. In mature mountain forests, they also use pines. The Lower Susquehanna River Watershed is located along the northern extreme of the Yellow-throated Warbler’s regular breeding range.
