Bird Ramblings

This Yellow-rumped Warbler was photographed in a cherry tree along Tilgner Avenue in front of the Assisted Living building here in Dallas Retirement Village on December 31st. I think of the Yellow-rumped Warbler as a winter bird because they appear here starting in November and continue until April when they move to higher elevations in the conifer forest for nesting. I say this with a degree of certainty because I have documented their presence and/ or absence here since November of 2019. Look to enjoy their bright yellow accents for the remaining winter months.
