cccougar Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I have photographed this lovely bird in my backyard before. It seems to fit the profile of a Yellow-throated Warbler except for its white throat. What am I? Thank you and keep staying safe everyone.

akandula Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 That’s a Myrtle Yellow-rumped Warbler. The yellow patches on the sides are good clues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cccougar Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 I did get this shot also. I don’t see the YRW signature “butter butt”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akandula Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) Yellow-rumped Warblers have yellow on their rumps, which is on the top of the body, near the tail. The rump can't be seen on any of these photos. Always remember to put location. I assumed it was in Charleston but a reiteration would be helpful.

cccougar Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 Yes in the Charleston area, I should have included that. I can see the YRW now. Thank you akandula! I didn’t get a view or photo showing the yellow spot on the backside. Is Myrtle YRW a specific type of this bird? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one in Eastern and Northern North America is the Myrtle subspecies. Edited April 11, 2020 by akandula 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
