Yellow Rumped Warbler (Setophaga coronata)

Among the first warblers to arrive in spring, and the last to leave in the fall. This warbler is still hanging around, very actively catching insects. I watched it hiding in a Hawthorne shrub in our yard, flashing out to hawk insects right from the air now and then. Then it would come over to where I place some peanut butter to have a snack. Couldn't catch it hawking, my reflexes and camera are too slow, but when it stays still for a moment I can manage that! lol
