Yellowbird :)

Morning gratitude gifts: This beautiful bright wonder let me come up, chat and take some up-close portraits as it rested in a little sunpatch on the picnic table(!). My eyes had noticed a bright yellow bird flying around more distant trees earlier in the week and I wished I could see it closer... Now.. Boom - well Hello there yes ...it's me:) After a little while (I expressed my adorations &asked if it needed anything at all) it flitted off...and a chickadee came to the feeder right by my shoulder obviously undaunted by proximity. I selected and offered some pre-sorted sunflower seeds in my palm and it eyed me for a moment then hopped on my hand and chose one. Then it went to the tree and grape arbor to eat, then back to my hand for 3 more. :) (Joy! I used to have a special brave chickadee friend back at our old house and missed him so.. Hadn't yet experienced this here!). Back inside I check my beloved #NorthAmericanWildlife book Guide that I've had since childhood... And was thinking (based on NY location and images) the yellow bird may be a fluffed up juvenile female Red Tanager or Orchard Oriole or yellowwarbler or pinewarbler ? We have now collectively ID'd it to be a #YellowWarbler... ! Thank you for comments and help! ❤🌻
