Yellow Warblers breed in the Pacific Northwest and other northern states and migrate to California and other warmer states in the fall.  They look for food (like insects such as midges, caterpillars, and wasps) along the slender branches of small trees.  They like disturbed areas and backyards with small trees like the Vine Maple, Dogwoods or Willows.  They also build their nests in these small trees.
