Yellow Rumped Warbler (female winter plumage)

Having a week of wonderfully warm weather.  A group of bluebirds is still here and staying near them are a few of these warblers.  Of course, w/ the warm weather there is a resurgence of mosquitoes and ticks.  The nice thing about this time of year is that, while the daytime temps may rise into the 70's, as soon as the sun sets it plummets into the 40's.  The insects are pretty slow moving until the day finally warms up.  Maybe that is why these birds are sticking around - easy pickings.
