On June 27, 2014, I discovered a Yellow Warbler nest at Parker River National Wildlife Refuge. The male and female were both observed flycatching and returning to feed their fledglings. One parent was also observed attacking a Song Sparrow that ventured too close to a fledgling. The warblers did not seem disturbed by my presence.
