Looking through my posts I see that I haven’t shared an image of this cheerful Yellow Warbler since 2013 when I saw one for the first time.

Common Yellowthroat-Male

In truth I rarely see one. The most common Warbler we have here is the Yellow-rump Warbler which I see just about every time I go birding.

When He-Man and I were in Santa Barbara last month we took a wander around Goleta Beach heading north into the University of Santa Barbara Campus up to Beach Point then around the Lagoon. It was while on the trail on the west side of the lagoon I heard and saw this Common Yellowthroat.

It was a treat to see, and he wasn’t skittish. He sat there while snapped a few images then he continued on with his morning song.

I might be much slower getting to your blogs over the next several days. Janet from https://wordpress.com/reader/users/sustainabilitea is arriving today for a visit so if the weather is good I’ll be sharing my little corner of the world with her. We have rain forecasted this week-end though. I hope it’s not a lot so we can get outdoors.

I hope you have a lovely week-end and fair weather!

more to come…

  9. Hoping you and Janet have a lovely weekend together Deborah and you manage to get outdoors. Your yellow throat image is beautiful and looks a little like our Yellow throated honeyeater which is endemic to Tasmania.

  18. There’s something about a splash of yellow on a bird that makes me smile. This one’s a beauty. Your focus is interesting. I sometimes read that it’s a no-no to have out-of-focus elements in the foreground, but it works perfectly here.

    1. I agree they add cheerfulness to life don’t they.
      I read once you know the rules it’s okay to break them once in awhile. 😊
      He was perched on a huge bush of some type and where I was on the trail I couldn’t get the foliage completely out of the shot so I happily took what I could get. With all the new AI tools I could probably spend some time removing it, but that’s not me really. I like the real shot. I’m glad you like it and think it works. 😊
