Yellow

Sitting on a yellow leaf, its hard to tell where the Yellow rumped Warbler starts and stops.

 

Yellow rumped warbler

They could have called him a yellow sided warbler, but no.

The yellow rump is very distinctive.

Theme day: Yellow

April's theme is "Yellow".  So here is a yellow duck.

And a yellow rumped warbler, 

and a goldfinch.

Birds of a feather don't flock together

I've always heard the saying: "birds of a feather flock together".  But now that I've been doing more birding, I think that's completely wrong.  When I watch the bird feeders, I see groups of birds of many feathers all together.  

Here is a Red bellied woodpecker and a blue bird at a suet feeder.

And here's two blue birds (male and female),  a goldfinch and maybe a yellow rumped warbler.

Birds are much more inclusive than people, they like to hang out together.

Here, a pair of bluebirds and a house finch visit a pretend bird.
