Common Yellowthroat

After helping move mulch at someone's house, took a zigzag path home looking for a bird to photograph. Hoping to see a pheasant, I zagged several miles out of the way to a marsh/meadow area that my son/blipper FarAwayWolf and I used to visit.  As I was walking along the asphalt path next to the largest marsh, this little yellow bird popped out of the brush and sat in a small tree at eye level in front of me.

I have never seen or heard of this bird before.  This is a male common yellowthroat, which is in the warbler family.  The name may indicate it's common, but it's not!  Length is 5"/13 cm and it's diet is insects.
