 | Here's a couple of photos of a Yellow-rumped Warbler (Setophaga coronata). It's a bird I always think of when I think of birdwatching (or "birding" as the current term is). These birds are quite common but I never saw one before I took up birding. When you are birding, you look with concentrated attention and so you see a lot more. The bonus is that a lot of what you see is interesting and beautiful. |
It's always a red-letter day for me when I can identify a species of bird that is new to me so I am happy to share with you these photos of a Yellow-rumped Warbler (Setophaga coronata). I saw at least a half-dozen of these out at Swan Lake the other day. It was a good day for birding though not for photography since most of the birds I saw were too distant to photograph well. They included Bald Eagles (a pair), a hawk (I don't know what kind it was), Red-winged Blackbirds (tuning up their rich whistles for the spring mating season), Spotted Towhees, wrens and sparrows, ducks and geese and several other small birds I couldn't identify.
