yellow rumped warbler

    Trying to eat the little gnats flying all around. I wish these cuties would stay all year round.

    Yellow-rumped warbler looking for insects among the willow catkins. I took a photo of it chasing an insect on the wing, but there was significant rolling shutter warping. The willow is an important food source in the winter for birds like hummingbirds, kinglets, and finches as well.

    I guess this is why you go photographing in the rain. That yellow really stands out from the drab surroundings.

    Yellow rumped warbler flitting around feeding. The refuge is awash with them. I saw a sharpie come out of nowhere and narrowly miss one right in front of me. Very cool.

    The refuge is inundated with these guys currently.

    Found this little guy yesterday when birding. I’d say the sunburn was worth the photo

    We were shadowed by warblers while pumpkin picking for Halloween.

    Yellow Rumped Warbler

    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...

    The Yellow Rumped Warblers continue to provide photo ops. I sadly just missed the "adult feeding young" shot here, but it's still nice to catch the adult and young together.

    YRW fledgling

    Here's the reason for the behaviour of the adult YRW in the previous photo. Yesterday the adult was attending to 3 or 4 fledglings, grabbing insects and peanut butter and taking them up into nearby trees where the younglings waited to be fed.

    This Yellow Rumped Warbler has been snacking on peanut butter and has been making it a regular part of its diet all spring and summer. Later, obviously raising young, it would gather blobs of it like in this photo, and take it back to the nestlings. In the last few days, if there is no peanut...

    Little hard to keep up with once I heard his call. Finally caught this one in the pines.

    Such a showy little warbler, he catches my eye very easily.

    Yellow Rumped Warbler

    Some years the Norway Maple in our yard explodes with blossoms. This is one of them. I can always count on warblers showing up to snack on all the insects that are drawn to the blossoms. YRW seem to be the most frequent. Makes for some good photo ops.

    First one of the season!

    Yep, still around. Taken yesterday, and they are still here this morning.. Gonna be snapping these guys till the last moment before they migrate south. Gonna miss them, they are a beautiful and interesting warbler. Not as skittish as some other warblers. Thanks for commenting so nicely on my...

    This was taken on Sept. 23, but surprisingly, as of yesterday, they are still around. It will be day to day from here on, I expect any time now they will be gone south.
  21. Yellow Rumped Warbler

    Yellow Rumped Warbler

    The tragedy of the unturned head. This Yellow Rumped Warbler was on a beautiful perch, but seemed fixated on something beyond. Calling out to it, begging, pleading and threatening, making loud kissy noises were all futile. It didn't turn its head before taking off from the perch. Stupid bird.

    These birds always interest me. Not only for their beauty, but also their willingness to take a crack at just about any type of food. No other warbler that I have seen will go after not only insects, but also suet, peanut butter, various types of bird seed, and in this case, peanut pieces. But...

    Maybe I post too many photos if this bird, but dang it, they are such pretty little things!

    Still got a couple of these birds coming in for the odd peanut butter snack. The only Warbler I have seen so far that is interested in peanut butter and suet.
