The Common Yellowthroat is a member of the warbler family. It is seen in areas of mature grass next to bushes and forests. As well as, along disturbed areas, such as train tracks, and raspberry briars are one of its favourite habitats. This small bird defends its territory aggressively, by sounding sharp chipping sounds. These yellowthroats are seen in Cuba during their fall and spring migration.
