Male Yellow-rumped warbler in mating colors
p.1 #1Male Yellow-rumped warbler in mating colors
When I first saw the bird I could not ID it as the colors are so brilliant and that's not the way I'm used to seeing a Yellow-rumped. Eventually I saw the spot on it's rear and did some research to discover it's a male in mating colors. It's quite striking like this.
There were other wobblers at Oakland Lake here in New York City, a clear sign that they are returning.
Comments and suggestions welcome,

There are two color variations of the yellow-rumped warbler: Audubon's and Myrtle's. The one in your picture is the common color of the western birds.

Thank you Mike,
I just read up on All About Birds.

Apparently this is the "Myrtle" Warbler of the eastern U.S. and Canada and the only type I've seen.
