These birds were very small and moved quickly. Many of them around mainly eating seeds in the short grasses and some in mountain ash trees. |

I just recently had my first experience with the Yellow-rumped Warbler & I wanted to share.... I noticed a male at my window feeders & it was very friendly & inquisitive. I decided to hold my hand out the window with seeds to see what it would do. It immediately came to my hand, I got pictures & a video on my cellphone camera. |

Location: Austin MN For the bird watchers, And of course, when I first saw it, it was in a perfect spot for a photo, not even 6 feet away from me through clean glass, sitting still in full sunlight. But I didn’t even have the cell phone on me, by the time I got back with a camera it was perched on the fence at the back side of our lot, in the shade of a big maple and just out of the range of the lens’s zoom. Any more plausible explanations than a Goldmani suddenly developing a wanderlust and heading up to “El Norte” last Spring or a Myrtle randomly developing the same markings as its Goldman cousins would be greatly appreciated. |
