Ya, he seemed to be getting down and doing the boogie woogie as I captured him, he wasn’t to shy actually, but made for some wonderful shots! / Thoughts welcomed! —John
Yellow-rumped Warbler MY BUBBLESITE
Deon de Waal suggested using this shot for a bit of selective colouring – thanks for the idea
This little bird is a yellow rumped warbler, feeding and perching in a coastal scrub area that is rich in wildlife on the east coast of Vancouver Island on Canada’s west coast. I captured this image with my Nikon D300, 600 mm lens, mounted on a Gitzo 1325 tripod, 1/800, F7.1, ISO 720.

Yellow Rumped Warbler (I believe this is a female). Photo AS IS – from camera. These birds do NOT normally visit my yard so you can imagine my excitement when they stopped by one evening. They were most likely migrating and I was lucky enough to capture a few images before they were on their way! / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- / Canon Rebel EOS XTi w/70-200mm f/4L IS lens @ 200mm / SS: 1/800, ISO 200, f/4 / Photo taken on Oct. 7, 2008 in my backyard.

The yellow rump warblers are coming to my patio birdbath and just hanging out with the other birds that are enjoying the feeders. It’s a joy to be this close to them. I sit in my blind and they land on top of it, making little scratchy noises with their tiny claws as they hop over my head. Too much fun!
A yellow rump warbler is scanning the skies and seems to be wondering, “Is anybody up there?” Or maybe he’s assuring us, “There certainly is Somebody up there!”

I was surprised to watch this yellow rumped warbler as it guarded its stash at the suet log. Much like the hummingbird which is combative and territorial, this little warbler was a feisty combatant to other birds that tried to grab a bit of peanut from the feeders. Like all warblers, this little songbird has a melodious voice that fills the air. I believe this is what is called the “Myrtle form” of the yellow-rumped warbler).

This yellow rumped warbler guards the suet log as vigilantly as a combative little hummingbird guards the nectar feeder. He has a distinctive “tsk tsk” call that announces his coming so it’s never a surprise when he shows up. This is the first year I’ve been privileged to see warblers at the feeders. I give John Radosevich credit for that because of his peanut butter suet recipe which is a big hit with the warblers. They can’t get enough of it! In addition to the yellow rumped warblers, I’ve seen pine warblers and yellow warblers, all enjoying the treats. Still no woodpeckers, though. Maybe one day they’ll come closer . . .
I’ve been working on trying to photograph birds on the move. Up until last week when I started experimenting with seagulls, I had pretty much relegated my shots to still poses on branches. This morning, I tried my hand at the warblers that visit the suet log. They are much smaller and much more erratic than the seagulls so it wasn’t easy but I pulled off a decent shot or two. Here’s one of them, a yellow rumped warbler hovering near the log filled with peanut butter treat for his breakfast.

This yellow rumped warbler loves to eat the peanut butter suet on my patio, but it must make him thirsty because he always hops down from the feeder to get a tiny sip of water in the birdbath before dashing off to his next assignment. I was happy to catch that little droplet of water on his bill.
I love, love, love these little goslings. They were so cute and funny! At one point they were running down the road towards me (not paying attention to where they were going) and nearly ran into me…. the one in front kind of gave me an “OH! where did you come from??” look. So cute!
Access to The Rumps is via the coast path from Polzeath or by an inland public footpath from the car park at Pentire Farm. The Rumps is the site of an Iron Age promontory fort. The twin headlands are linked to the mainland by a narrow neck making The Rumps a formidably defensive site. The picture was taken from Pentire Point Three banks and ditches span the narrowest part of the promontory. These date from the late Iron Age and were once topped by wooden palisades; the earthworks remain clearly visible to walkers. The poet Laurence Binyon wrote For the Fallen in 1914 while sitting on the cliffs between Pentire Point and The Rumps.
