Abstract Common Yellowthroat (Geothlypis trichas) is an abundant passerine of dense vegetation, most commonly associated with wetlands across its pan-North American distribution. It has been reported using dry habitats in more southern areas;  however, habitat use in the boreal portion of its range is poorly understood. Historical observations of this species occupying coniferous scrub in Newfoundland suggest plasticity in breeding habitat near its northern range limit.
