The Yellow-Rumped Warbler

The yellow-rumped warbler

MANY, MANY of these gorgeous and lively little birds visiting us this week, and mingling with the congregation of the Church O’ The Pines. They love the suet feeders and Kathy gives them little meal worms as well. The yellow-rumped warbler, long called the Myrtle warbler, is one of the first spring migrants among the warblers. (Who don’t actually ‘warble’ at all.) Road Scholars are gathering in Bloomington this evening, and tomorrow we head out to southeast Minnesota’s Driftless Area to see ‘butter butts’ and as many other feathered friends as we can find this week. Maybe we’ll find spring, too!
