yellow-rumped warbler male at Decorah Fish Hatchery IA 854A0196

Yellow-rumped warblers were wading through the deep snow in search of any tiny midges that might be landing along the trout stream. This photo may look funny, but spring migrants like this are showing up dead in people's yards. They just can't find enough insects to sustain them in this bitter cold weather, when almost all insects are nonexistent anyway.
