Yellow-Rumped Warbler Female

I was told that this beautiful little bird I saw at Delta Ponds today is a Yellow-rumped Warbler. It is a tiny, very active bird quite difficult to catch still. I watched as it would fly up in the air and make a loop before coming to rest for an instant on a bush along the pond. The bush had berries on it, perhaps the bird loves them. It repeated the maneuver over and over again, and was off again before I could get a shot off. I kept trying to anticipate when it would land and would fire a shot or two. That's how I got this shot. I was overjoyed that I had got something. Some shots were blank. The bird was gone before the shutter tripped. I had to overcome the shutter lag of a compact. Color me happy! :)

Good catch. If they're related to the ones we see around here, they don't stay still for any amount of time at all.

Great shot. They are hard to catch as they seem to enjoy flying about. V

Very nice Vern

Terrific capture of this sweet little bird. The colors, composition and lighting are super too. We have the "Audubon" variety of the Yellow Rumped around here. They are fun to see and definitely challenging to shoot!

Vern, you are right Yellow Rump warblers are fast movers! You got a great shot I like how it has a warm golden tone and the sweep of the branches. You have a fast trigger finger!
