YRWA's

Nine birds today, eight species. The coolest thing was getting the two subspecies of the yellow rumped warbler, the audubon's and the myrtle. Up til now I'd only seen the myrtle, but the yellow chin of the audubon's is a pretty defining feature:


They also have more white on more tail feathers:


We couldn't age this one...


This is the myrtle, which we called a second year female due to the very small black centers of the back and upper tail feathers, as well as a very minimal amount of white on the rectrices
