I had a new visitor to my feeders today, the Yellow-Rumped Warbler. It was pretty exciting for me since he was a first time visitor.
This bird is a slate gray bird with black streaks on the breast.
He has a yellow patch on the head, flanks, and rump.
He has a white chin and belly.
He also has two white wing bars. I read that this yellow-rumped warbler rarely comes to suet feeders but I first saw him on one of my suet feeders.
Today was an exciting first for me. I am thankful for this visit from the warbler plus I am thankful the sun is shining, and it is a beautiful spring day here in Western Kentucky - Judy.

What a gorgeous birdy!
ReplyDeleteA very special bird!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day!
...a Yellow-Rumped Warbler is new to me, thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a good looking bird! What type of seed do you usually feed, besides the suet? I like the different types of birds that you attract. Thanks for linking up today and have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, I read they eat insects, berries, and rarely come to suet feeders.
DeleteWhat a wonderful little bird! Great photos!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen one, but maybe I will someday. We are in their migratory route.
Wonderful photos - so detailed! I saw my first one last year - a little flock was passing through. - Karen

ReplyDeleteWhat a charming little creature!
ReplyDeleteI understand your exitment. It is a lovely little one and you got some great shots to remember by.
ReplyDeleteIn Texas we call 'em butter butts or myrtle warblers. ...a rose by any other name, right? You captured it beautifully. Exciting to have a new bird, I understand this whole-heartedly!
ReplyDeleteFor this week, I send my thanks to you for sharing with us bird lovers at I'd Rather B Birdin'!
