I awoke this morning to discover a pair of Yellow-Throated Warblers feasting on the seeds in the sugar maple in my backyard. My first thought was that they were just golden finches which are rather common, but they just lacked a certain hyper-tensivity that the finches embody in rydelin-deficited spades. I observed them for a good 15 minutes before I hit pay dirt. One emerged from the confusion of the foliage to fly to a higher branch, and I clearly saw the beautiful bluish-grey cap and back contrasted against the brilliant yellow throat. What joy!

Yellow-Throated Warbler Spotted!

What a great way to start the day. And a great photo too.
