Yellow-rumped Warbler
A beautiful little bird stopped by today. A tiny thing that looks at you with a beautiful ‘mask’.
Unfortunately it seems to be skittish. Well, I guess that could be a good thing in that it zooms away, but, I hate to see it releasing all that energy when it doesn’t have to. Poor thing so far has been a loner, but it does try to come near when the sparrows are around. Problem with that is, they scare it away.
I hope it comes back so that I can get some better images, from what I am able to see though, I think it is a female yellow-rumped warbler.
Update: Feb 07 2007 > She has been back now, for a few days. I am 99.9% positive at this point that she is the Yellow-rumped Warbler, like I thought she was. Especially since her pretty and very bright yellow-rump is starting to show more!
