The Warbler Show

Staring, in this episode, the Common Yellowthroat.

A somewhat regular visitor to the yard, appearing on thirty-two eBird yard checklists. 

As with the American Redstart, this is a female. 

Patty had spotted one early this morning, and it seems to have spent the day in the gardens, with most views as in the image below (the bird is dead center in the image).

Deep in the foliage. Its presence known mostly by shaking plants and chip notes. Kind of annoying.

But I got lucky as I had the camera at the ready for the other warblers, and she popped up on the fence in the garden. And bang bang bang, I got the shots.
