Summer is the perfect season to photograph colorful birds.

Yellow-Rumped Warbler
Warblers are popular in North America, but none is as widespread and willing to visit yards and feeders as the yellow-rumped warbler. The Audubon's and Myrtle plumage variations look quite different, but both have the bright yellow rump these "butter butts" are named for. These birds are very early and late visitors during the year, allowing birders to indulge in their passion for warblers for months.
