| The Yellow-rumped Warbler (Setophaga coronata) is a common nesting bird across much of the montane west of the United States as well as across a large area of Canada and Alaska. The species is quite hardy, especially for a warbler, and winters across the southern half of the United States, even in very cold temperatures. This species is one of the warblers that even beginning bird watchers become quickly familiar with. At times in the winter in the southern United States, the "butter butts" seem to be everywhere! The first two shots were taken in Starr Co., Texas, in February, 1999, with a Canon EOS 1N and EF 300mm F/2.8 L lens and 2X extender on Fuji Velvia. Scroll down for more images. |

| The next two shots shown here were taken of Yellow-rumped Warblers foraging in some vegetation on Lake Tohopekaliga, Osceola Co., Florida, in February, 2007. These shots were taken with a Canon EOS 1D Mark II and EF 500mm F/4 L IS lens and 2X extender. Both of these birds are starting to molt into breeding plumage. Note the foot and leg of the top bird, obviously some sort of malformation or disease. |
