Yellow-rumped warblers (Setophaga coronata) spend the breeding season in mature coniferous and mixed coniferous-deciduous woodlands (such as in patches of aspen, birch, or willow). In the western U.S. and in the central Appalachian Mountains, they are found mostly in mountainous areas. In the Pacific Northwest and the Northeastern U.S., they occur all the way down to sea level wherever conifers are present.
During winter, yellow-rumped warblers find open areas with fruiting shrubs or scattered trees, such as parks, streamside woodlands, open pine and pine-oak forest, dunes (where bayberries are common), and residential areas. On their tropical wintering grounds they live in mangroves, thorn scrub, pine-oak-fir forests, and shade coffee plantations.
This is a mid-sized New World warbler, with a total length ranging from 12 to 15 cm (4.7 to 5.9 in) long, with a wingspan of 19 to 24 cm (7.5 to 9.4 in). Body mass can vary from 9.9 to 17.7 g (0.35 to 0.62 oz), though averages between 11 and 14 g (0.39 and 0.49 oz). Among standard measurements, the wing chord is 6.3 to 8.4 cm (2.5 to 3.3 in), the tail is 5 to 6.6 cm (2.0 to 2.6 in), the bill is 0.8 to 1.1 cm (0.31 to 0.43 in) and the tarsus is 1.8 to 2.2 cm (0.71 to 0.87 in).
In summers, males of both forms have streaked backs of black on slate blue, white wing patches, a streaked breast, and conspicuous yellow patches on the crown, flank, and rump (the latter giving rise to the species's nickname "butterbutt" among birdwatchers. Audubon's warbler also sports a yellow throat patch, while the myrtle warbler has a white throat and eye stripe, and a contrasting black cheek patch. Females of both forms are more dull, with brown streaking front and back, but still have noticeable yellow rumps.

I would really appreciate it if someone could identify the bird for me, thanks in anticipation of your assistance.
Unable to upload yesterday because I couldn't use the internet. This was taken however, yesterday so fear not.
Normally I’m not a big fan of “patch jobs” or “bandits” and the like, but since this one is now off MRL’s roster, I’m kind of glad I have a photograph of it. Montana Rail Link SD45 no 8941 heads west at Blossburg, Montana. During it’s life, the SD45 worked for Seaboard Coast Line, Clinchfield, Seaboard System, CSX, VMV, IMRL, and finally MRL.
My nine-patch is finally complete! Sewed the binding while on vacation in Wisconsin. I stopped at half-size, 35 blocks. I'm really happy with it, and I love how the white ties everything together! Thanks for the quilt-along, AmandaJean!
most of my garden is waning, some parts looking a bit sad. except for one bed of wildflowers, planted from seed in may. these little beauties are a patch of happiness.

Here is a little veggie patch Cake that I made yesterday.
Nothing too fancy, just nice and simple! (just wish I had more time to spend on all the little details)

A ripe pumpkin patch ready for the Halloween harvest. Click here or on the image to view LARGER and on black. (This is one of 6 images in this series -- see below.)
This is a little family farm surrounded by development. They sell their produce direct to the public. The pumpkins can be chosen and picked right out of the field, which is why the pumpkin vines are quite beaten down. I took this photo a week ago --only two days after they opened the field to the public, and already almost one-half of the pumpkins were gone! (I photographed with a medium telephoto lens to stack up and concentrate what was left.) I saw many pumpkins larger than these being carted away. Next year, I'll try to plan ahead and be there on opening day.

We went to a pumpkin patch today, and these were the three that we chose. Huge pumpkins. We also prize stems, as is apparent.
You bet it was Love at First Sight.... Alas there was only One and my Mom got him so I will be looking everywhere for another <3 Santina NEEDS him as you can bet ;D
Kind of a bad photo, but this was only the second time I've seen this species. Year bird and patch bird.
A touch of filter was added to this image in post-processing.
Snow seems to have disappeared from the weather forecast for Calgary for the next few days. It was supposed to snow last night and this morning, but, instead, we have blue sky and sunshine. Yesterday, thinking I had better get out for a drive before this snow arrived, I drove east and north-east of the city, which I haven't done for ages. Not my favourite drive to get out there on a very busy highway with endless, enormous trucks, and it is also an area that I can easily get lost in once I get there. As it turned out, it was a cloudy, windy day. and definitely not good for taking photos.
The birds that I was hoping I might come across were nowhere to be seen. No problem, though, as I had already seen both species on a recent outing. Instead, I was so happy to see a flock of Gray Partridge and a handsome male Ring-necked Pheasant. The Partridge flushed from the edge of a gravel road and, as they always do, took flight over a field and disappeared from sight. As I watched, one individual partially showed himself, presumably checking for the group whether I had continued with my drive.
The Ring-necked Pheasant was crossing a field at a farm and not too far away. After turning in different directions, it gave a very loud squawk and off it flew, disappearing over an adjacent field. It had been ages since I last saw one of these spectacular, colourful birds, so this was a pleasant surprise.
These Pheasants are well-established in the wild in North America, but more are raised and released in Alberta every year as game birds.

Patches & her baby.
Planning to upload the rest of the kitten photos in one post (gotta practice my new skill) but wanted to give this one its own place in my stream. I love how she is holding the baby, giving her a pillow to rest on. Almost 3 years later and we still miss him/her. One of my personal favs.
Yet another photograph winner on my patch. 66777 'Annette' takes it's turn to work 6M98 Rylstone - Leyland B. Conveying another 2000 tonnes of limestone seen passing Pleasington with some friendly horns.

A female cat I met at the Eco-Justice Center. She wasn't interesting in being photographed; she was constantly on the move and refused to look up at me.
