Unlimited edition. 18 x 24 inch, museum-quality poster on matte paper.

The yellow warbler is often described as “buttery yellow,” but there’s very little cream color on these birds; they’re more of a canary and olive-gold, with rusty chestnut flecks and streaking on the breasts of the males. Perhaps one reason the “butter” description sticks is because it dovetails nicely with the mnemonic used to identify the yellow warbler’s song: “Sweet, sweet, sweet. I'm so suh-weet.” During the spring and summer, these bright little insect eaters can be found breeding across most of North America, all the way up into the northern reaches of Alaska and Canada and well down into Mexico. In the US, they don’t usually take up residence in the Southeast or parts of the desert Southwest, but are common in 41 of the lower 48 states. I saw a pair just last week, working through shrubs near the top of a drainage with a seasonal creek below – two splashes of brilliant yellow on a green and brown drop cloth.

Note: These archival poster prints feature rich, appealing colors. I encourage customers to take care in handling them until they are framed/protected for display; the darker colors on the matte paper can be scratched. They ship rolled, so customers need to flatten them before framing (or have their framer do so).

Charitable Sales Model: Whenever one of these poster prints is purchased, a charitable contribution equal to 10% of the print’s cost (or $3.60) is made to a nonprofit working to tackle environmental or social challenges. Read more about my charitable sales model here.
