A little over a hundred miles to the south of my place, my sister spotted the first grosbeak back for the season. I haven’t seen one yet but the Yellow-rumped Warblers as been around for about a week, although they have been at suet feeder a lot since the cold, wet spring hasn’t provided a lot of insects for their snacks. The Yellow-rumped Warbler have two distinct subspecies – the “Myrtle” Warbler of the eastern U.S. with a white throat and “Audubon’s” Warbler of the mountainous West with a yellow throat.
