These yellow-rumped warbler photographs were taken in April during the spring migration. It can be a little easier to capture them when the trees are just budding than in the fall when the leaves provide them with cover. (Spring takes its time arriving here.) As with all warblers, they’re lightening fast and can take off before you raise your camera to your eye. It’s always a good day when you catch a few of these warblers on the fly!

Lovely shots of these speedy birds clearly showing the markings. I have taken many ‘but end’ shots of them and many more of just a branch where they had been.

Thanks so much for these photos. It is just what I needed to see this morning when it is minus 10 degrees. These birds usually come to us after the trees leaf out 🙂

I just remembered that one time I saw a mother yellow-rumped warbler feeding a cowbird baby that was bigger than her. The cowbird mother had obviously laid her egg in the warbler nest and the young cowbird(s) crowded out (starved) the warbler babies. The mother warbler raised the cowbird thinking her baby was just an ugly duckling. I don’t like cowbirds!!!!!!

Amazing story. I guess all baby chicks look the same to a mother bird.

I guess they don’t know the difference. Cowbirds do that a lot (lay their eggs in other birds’ nests – parasitic nesters). There are some other kinds of birds who do that too.
