Note: During all years of the Saskatchewan Breeding Bird Atlas drought conditions persisted and the Atlas range maps for all waterfowl, waterbirds, and wetland-associated species should be viewed as characteristic of distribution and abundance during dry conditions.

Excerpts Adapted from the Birds of Saskatchewan:
Known best for its strong, repetitive call, will cheat you, will cheat you, will cheat you, this marsh-loving warbler is also readily identified with a glimpse of its black mask and bright yellow throat. It is one of the most widespread of all the wood-warbler species, breeding from the southern Yukon to Newfoundland south to central Mexico, and wintering from California and North Carolina south through Central America and the Caribbean to northern South America.
"Favoured haunts are brushy coulees and riparian thickets in the Grasslands and Cypress Hills, cat-tails and bulrushes in the Parklands. In the northern regions, the Yellowthroat seeks out the shrubby fringes of muskegs and watercourses? (Smith 1996). It is the only warbler to nest in marshes.
A common summer resident, the status of the Common Yellowthroat in the far north is poorly known, its range perhaps continuous to the northern limits of the northern boreal forest with only one record from the subarctic (Patterson Lake area).
