Yellow Means Slow Down And Watch Me

Palm Warbler

F/8.0, 1/200, ISO 320.

Palm Warbler

A male and a female pigeon made a date to meet on a ledge outside
the 14th floor of the Chrysler Building.  The male was there on time,
but the female arrived an hour late.
“Where were you?” he cried.  “I was worried sick.”
“It was such a nice day,” she explained, “I decided to walk.”

Interesting Fact: The Palm Warbler is found in two different forms. Birds that breed in the western part of the range are duller, and have whitish bellies. Those breeding in the eastern part of the range are entirely yellow underneath. ( https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Palm_Warbler/lifehistory )

    They are so darling. I don’t think they come up here where I live.

      Not sure if they do, but people in my area don’t see them as well. If you not looking for them you barely come across them. Thank you very much for stopping by and take interest in my post. Happy Blogging! 🙂

    Fantastic picture of a beautiful little bird. We don’t have them here in Arkansas.

      Yes the colors of the bird are adorable. But I am sure that you have a lot of birds that we don’t have on the east coast. Thank you very much for stopping by and checking out my work. Happy Blogging! 🙂

    I recently started my own blog of the “Cowboy State”, which “Open Lens” liked. I thought I’d return the courtesy and like back. I’ve never been happier! I love your photography, jokes, but especially the beautiful birds you feature! Thank you for posting these wonderful little (and sometimes big) guys! 🙂

        I definitely agree with that, laughter does make everything better 🙂 I’ve just been reading all your blog posts to my sister who’s not well and they really made her smile, so thanks 🙂 Happy Weekend!

        I am so glad that it made her smile. I hope for her to get well soon. What’s her name I will dedicate a post for her. 🙂

        Awww that is so kind! Thank you! Her name is Amber, she has CFS M.E and is going through a really really bad relapse at the moment but we both love your posts, they’re so funny. Thank you so much again! I really appreciate it.

    Nice photos! I see you are a birder, like me, and a photographer! I can’t tell where you are based, but east coast? I used to live there but now am on the west coast. We have many of the same birds, but fewer warblers. I look forward to following your work. Thanks for sharing!

      Thank you very much. I am on the east coast, suburbs of NYC, but also enjoy going to the west coast ever once in awhile. I appreciate your similar passion. Thank you for stopping by and checking out my work. Happy Blogging! 🙂
