While  eating supper this evening and watching the birds eat at the feeders, 
a  female Yellow Warbler showed up in the trees above the feeder.  My wife  
even commented on how pretty it looked.



Hi Jim, and all,
 
I had a similar experience late last week. As I was sitting out  back on the 
deck I noticed a yellow bird in the corner garden area. At first I  thought it 
was a juvie goldfinch, and didn't pay too much attention. Then it  flew off 
to the trees on the perimeter of the yard and I watched it with my  binoculars, 
and thought it could be a Yellow Warbler. After a bit it returned to  the 
yard, feeding on the ground in the mulch and up in a small dogwood  tree. I 
called my daughter outside and we watched it up close for quite a while.  It was a 
young Yellow Warbler in pristine plumage; just gorgeous. 
 
There was also a second one present in my neighbors backyard which we saw  at 
a distance and heard singing (late) the same evening. This was yard bird  
number 50 for us!
 
We also have a late nesting pair of E. Bluebirds in one of my 3 boxes.  Their 
4 young seem to have hatched within the past 48 hours. And we must have  8-12 
hummingbirds visiting the feeders and flowers in the yard. Lots of action  
around the feeders, which I have to fill every couple of days now.
 
Enjoy late summer,
