Birds and Nature

The top pic shows several field marks for Yellow-rumped Warbler :  yellow rump showing, streaked gray upperparts,broken white eye ring and white corners on tail.  And, of course, it's fully yellow throat shows it is the subspecies found in the west, Audubon's. The pic above adds the following field marks:  yellow patch on side and 2 white wing bars. And the final pic shows the dark breast band and a little of the yellow crown patch.  FouSeEtta

This pic is exactly how this brightly colored Lazuli Bunting looked like, all I did was crop the photo to enlarge it, nothing else. And this is the same turquoise blue that I saw when I took these pics, just a gorgeous bird. I didn't crop the pic just above as strongly as the other pics because I wanted to show how its turquoise feathers were reflected in the water.SeEtta
