I seem to have missed out on seeing lots of Yellow-rumped Warblers this year during their fall migration, I saw a few back in late September and early October but haven’t seen any for some time.<\/p>\n

\n<\/span><\/p>\n

There was a spot close to home that used to have a tree that was just dripping with them during fall migration but that tree has completely died and I don’t think it has the draw for these warblers that it used to have since there aren’t any leaves for insects to hide in.<\/p>\n

I also used to see them way up north but I didn’t spend as much time up there this year during the time that they were migrating through. I may just have to wait for spring to get the images of these warblers that I dream of.<\/p>\n

I photographed this Yellow-rumped Warbler last fall up in Box Elder County<\/span><\/a> where I spotted it perched in a hackberry bush next to a gravel road. The plumage of this species is a bit more subdued in the fall than it is during the spring but I still find them very appealing to my eyes.<\/p>\n

Audubon\u2019s and Myrtle Warblers were considered separate species for decades before being lumped by the AOU in 1973. Out here in the West we have Audubon’s Yellow-rumped Warblers and back East they are Myrtle Yellow-rumped Warblers, they may be split into two species again soon, or at least there have been rumors about that for some time.<\/p>\n

I’m in a bit of a funk so if I don’t publish posts for a day or two not to worry I might just be taking a short break.<\/p>\n

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