A Visit From the Yellow-Rumped Warbler

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.

  4. What 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.

    1. Michelle, I read they eat insects, berries, and rarely come to suet feeders.

  13. In 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!
    For this week, I send my thanks to you for sharing with us bird lovers at I'd Rather B Birdin'!
