Yellow Rumped Warbler
Yellow Rumped Warbler (female)
The earliest signs of spring are finally emerging. This is when we see the greatest variety of birds in our yard – as they pass through on their migratory journey.
This is the first year I remember seeing Yellow Rumped Warblers. We have three or four of them hanging around the yard the last few days. I first noticed a male, with its striking, bright yellow patches and stripe down the middle of its head. They get their name from a yellow patch on their rump, usually difficult to see when their wings are folded.
I haven’t gotten a good shot of the male…yet. This is a female. There are a few more gals flitting around, so it was easier to get a decent shot. Even this shot could be sharper and had to be cropped quite a bit.
