Warblers everywhere!



Sunday I sighted the first warber,
a Yellow-rumped Warbler,
but didn't get a good photo of him.



Today, there are warblers everywhere!
All yellow-rumped.... so far.
These little guys are about 4-3/4"

  1. I love Yellow-rumped Warblers, we call them "butter-butts." I remember going on a birding trip one time to Cape Hatteras and seeing thousands of them during migration. They were just covering all the bushes near the beach while they rested for a bit. It was an amazing sight.

  2. Those birds are really cute. We don't have them here. I'd love to see them up close.

  7. It's kind of fun how once you see the Yellow-Rumpeds, you know it's only a matter of days before the warbler deluge. I like the predictability of it!

    That first photo shows the quintessential field markings, and I especially like the composition of that second photo.
