Yellow-rumped warbler on Cholla Cactus skeleton
Although genetically distinct, there is no plan to split Yellow-rumped warbler in to 3 or more species. In the USA we have Myrtle and Audubon's warblers and in Central America there is Goldman's and a few others. However, they are all still yellow-rumped warblers.
Beavertail State Park, Jamestown, Rhode Island
Lone herring gull with three black scoters, identifiable by the orange-yellow "knob" at the base of the bill, which look like faint orange-yellow bokeh balls at this aperture. The scoters were my real interest, but they maintained their distance while mocking me the whole time.
aren't these old knarly trees the best?!
I found this one at the Audubon pine island sanctuary and center in the obx
Taken in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada.
This is another shot of an unusually complacent 'Butterbutt' poser that I encountered. Da Vinci would have raised a cappuccino in a toast to this bird. I'm sure of it!
Yellow-rumped Warbler - Audubon's
Audubon’s Oriole is primarily a species of both coasts of Mexico, with a small population in southern Texas, USA. This individual was seen at the Salineno Birding Area near the Rio Grande, in keeping with a preference for riparian areas.
Recently went to the Rookery, not to far from where we live on the advice of 2 Flickr pals , I was not disappointed
This passerine bird was long known to be closely related to its eastern counterpart, the myrtle warbler, and at various times the two forms have been classed as separate species or grouped as the yellow-rumped warbler, Setophaga coronata. Wikipedia
On the afternoon of August 31, 2018, Dakota, Missouri Valley & Western’s “wayfreight” passes milepost 490 between Coleharbor and Garrison, North Dakota, crossing the long causeway separating Lake Sakakawea from Lake Audubon on this section of the Missouri River backed up by the Garrison Dam.
And now for something completely different. Standing on the boardwalk at the South Padre Island Birding and Nature Center I looked almost straight down and saw this mottled duck preening. During the preening process, ducks turn into contortionists and watching them can be quite entertaining. I hope some of you are entertained by this quirky shot.
American Lifer #563. From..the Audubon society:
In native woodlands and brushy country of far southern Texas, this large oriole is an uncommon resident. Members of a pair may stay together all year, and often forage together in the woods, but they can be hard to see; slow-moving, quiet, and rather secretive, they often stay low in dense cover. Audubon's Orioles may be noticed first by their hesitant slow whistles from deep in the thickets.
Hit "L" then "Z".
I am one of those who considers the Audubon's and Myrtle warblers to be separate species. OTOH, we are supposed to stop using "Audubon's" and await a new "descriptive" name for the bird. This all makes my head hurt. Christmas Mountain Oasis, Texas
This yearling sheep is relaxing in the barn on a hot and muggy day at Drumlin Farm Wildlife Sanctuary, an Audubon property. She saw me patting sheep close to the fencing, and came over to enjoy some for herself.
This image shows my photo of the hummingbird species Tyrian Metaltail, as it appears in the 2025 Audubon Birds Page-a-Day Calendar (Workman Publishing). It is used for the weekend of Saturday, August 23 and Sunday, August 24. This is the link to my original here on Flickr www.flickr.com/photos/luminouscompositions/52551520610/in...

While in the Audubon's Nahant Thicket I spotted this guy. Just what you don't want to see in a bird sanctuary. He looked very caught then sheepishly walked away.
Scarlett and Kudzu have heard me preparing the pellet bowls for the two senior goats, Chester and Jack, and are hoping I'll give some to them. The other goats only get them occasionally, however, to draw them to or away from something when grazing outside. They live in an old greenhouse at Belmont Audubon Habitat.
There are two types of Yellow-rumped Warblers; the Myrtle and the Audubon and of course male and female of each type. Myrtles have white throats and Audubons the yellow throats along with a number of other identifying marks. I just found out that there are even intergrades just to make it interesting.
Early morning in Audubon Park New Orleans. A garden open to all. Many residents enjoy a moment of nature thanks to the efforts of park employees and volunteers.

Well ok, "Yellow-rumped Warbler".
Audubon's Warblers and Myrtle Warblers, once separate species, are now considered subspecies of Yellow-rumped Warblers. Although its throat can be whitish like the Myrtle's, summer Audubon's throats are often yellowish, as in this outstanding example.
Seen at Sprague Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado.

I usually don't like tight crops but I think this image called for it. Most lenses are sharp. The trick is you have to align your lenses to your camera most of the time. The K-3 lacks a AA filter and moire patterns can form in bird feathers. This photo had color moire. I discovered that Topaz Denoise is good at eliminating it with the clean color slider. I think I will stop posting for a while and watch others here. I’ll probably post a few images on 500px that I haven’t posted here. Best fortunes in your adventures and have a good time out there.
