Yellow Warbler
Day 116 / 365
You’re the yellow bird that I’ve been waiting for!
Interesting Fact: Their open, cuplike nests are easy to find, and cowbirds often lay eggs in them. Yellow Warblers in some areas thwart these parasites by building a new floor over the cowbird eggs and laying a new clutch of their own. In one case, persistent cowbirds returned five times to lay more eggs in one nest, and an even more persistent warbler built six layers of nest floors to cover up the cowbird eggs.

So did both sets of eggs hatch? Seems like the bird sitting on the eggs on top of the eggs would provide warmth for all.
š This is very true, but if they hatch how do they get out?
Well positioned bird, and fascinating story
Thank you very much, always happy to see your feedback. š
Such a cutie. He doesn’t rely on camouflage LOL

The bird is like a ray of sunshine in a brown world!! Great shot. Warblers are such lively little birds š
Yes they are. Wow what an amazing and strong statement. I love it, and thank you very much. š
Lovely photo of a lovely bird! But I’ve never seen a yellow warbler around here in central NJ.
Thank you very much, and I am sure they are around. But they do stay out of site. It took me 45 minutes sitting in the tree to snap a photo of one. š
