This afternoon I saw a Yellow Rumped Warbler at my suet feeder. I have never even managed to identify any kind of warbler since I became interested in bird watching. I pulled up from work and saw what I thought was a sparrow on the roof of my house. As I was getting my stuff together to get out of the car, it flew to the suet feeder directly in front of the car on the window.
I noticed then that it had a patch of yellow on its head and rump and a little yellow under its wings and knew it was a sparrrow. Well that and the fact that I have never seen a sparrow on my suet feeders.
I wish I could have gotten a picture, but it was pouring down rain and it flew away when I tried to clear the windshield to snap a pic with my cell phone. Oh well. Maybe now since it knows where there is a ready supply of food it will come back when I am inside with camera waiting.
Edited:: I stopped cleaning today to look out my front window and loe and behold, the warbler was back. While not the greatest picture, I think it is cool. The warbler was midflight trying to steal bites of suet when I snapped the picture. Since then he comes nearly every day and eats seed that are on the ground and suet.
