This photo of a Myrtle Yellow-rumped Warbler was taken one year ago today in Arkansas. These warblers show up during the fall, and they delight my eyes.<\/p>\n

\"FallFall Myrtle Yellow-rumped Warbler in Arkansas \u2013 Canon R7, handheld, f8, 1\/125, ISO 1600, +0.3 EV, Canon 100-400mm at 400mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

When I lived in Utah, I most frequently saw the Audubon\u2019s subspecies of Yellow-rumped Warblers, but I would also sometimes find the Myrtle subspecies. So far, since leaving Utah, I have only seen the Myrtle subspecies.<\/p>\n

In the fall, adult Yellow-rumped Warblers are in their nonbreeding plumage. I don\u2019t mind that at all; I enjoy their more subtle autumn plumage. They don’t breed here in Arkansas or Oklahoma.<\/p>\n

I’ve been seeing and hearing Yellow-rumped Warblers<\/span><\/a> for a couple of weeks, but so far this year, I haven’t gotten images of them that meet my standards. It would be wonderful to get a few photos of this wood-warbler species again soon.<\/p>\n

Yellow-rumped Warblers are among the most adaptable foragers of all warblers. You\u2019re just as likely to see one dart from a tree to catch a flying insect as you are to watch it switch to eating berries in the fall. They’ll also come into feeders to feed on suet, sunflower seeds, raisins, peanut butter, and more.<\/p>\n

Yellow-rumped Warblers have also been observed foraging in some unusual spots, picking insects off washed-up seaweed along the shore, snatching insects from the surface of rivers or oceans, plucking them from spiderwebs, and even grabbing them from piles of pooh.<\/p>\n

I adore watching them snag insects from the air.<\/p>\n

It is cooler this morning than it has been since spring. Maybe I’ll be able to see, hear, and photograph a Yellow-rumped Warbler today. We’ll see!<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
