Yellow Warblers first show up in our area in the mid-late spring (usually by late April), with small numbers remaining in riparian areas along the Colorado & Gila Rivers throughout the breeding season.  In late spring they are one of the most common migrants.  Look for them in riparian growth and yards, especially blooming Palo Verde trees in migration.  In summer, look for them at the Gila River Grove.
