Yellow-rumped Warbler YRWA (Dendroica coronata)

Fall Warblers 2016 #16

 

This back view exposes their namesake bright yellow-rump or more affectionally called by birders "butter butt". I resisted much of a crop to show how bright that yellow rump is even from a distance and in low light. They are the only warbler seen in flocks in winter in the US. There are still numbers of them around our home now in Dec. and it's almost Christmas! They are very adaptable and consume many food sources. I have seen them on large jetty rocks picking tiny somethings off in between crashing waves.
