Although I'm used to seeing yellow-rumped warblers during the cold months in their drab winter plumage, I don't often get a good look at them in breeding plumage before they migrate north to their summer nesting range.
Two days ago I did. The trees above my deck seemed filled with the little sprites. The males strikingly dressed; the females less so, but still vibrant. It's nice to see old friends in their Sunday best, although the encounter made bittersweet by knowing they soon would be gone.
