Similar species:
The male Yellow-rumped Warbler is quite distinctive with its yellow patches at the sides of the breast and black upper breast. Magnolia Warblers have yellow bellies. Females and immatures are less colorful and more difficult to identify. The often obvious yellow rump is brighter than other species with yellow rumps (Magnolia, Palm, and Cape May). When present, the yellow patches at the sides of the breast are not found in these other species. Cape May Warbler has finer and more extensive streaking on the breast and a yellow neck patch. Palm Warbler has yellow undertail coverts and actively pumps its tail. Magnolia Warblers have much more yellow below.

Hola amigo,
perfecta captura,
bello pose, con hermoso bg.
perfecta nitidez...
saludos Luis un abrazo.

Yellow blue...an interesting challenge but the yellow overcomes the blue..good fortune not to have a totally clear blue sky and a bit of luck to have a yellow green perch. Very nice!

Hola Prima,

Sounds much better in Spanish! You work magic getting a Warbler to pose for you like this. Great eye contact as he sits on top of this tree that matches him so well. Beautiful colors and excellent details. A wonderful composition - a pleasure to see this.

Jane

Hi Luis,
Very nicely posed warbler with good details and color. The yellow bush and blue sky are a fine addition to the bird.
Tfs Richard
PS: I did a workshop just to do it. Not sure if it's an improvement of your fine image, just different.

Hello Luis,
How can you manage the yellow throat and the yellow of the tree? I think a bit more contrast is possible. Very good sharpness, POV and composition.

Excellent shot of the Yellow Rumped Warbler.
Nicely composed shot, I like the way the yellow conifer fill the lower left quarter of the frame with the bird posing against the sky in the upper right quarter.
Great POV and a great pose.

Beautiful image of this beautiful little bird!
Fine detail in the feathers and the edges are very sharp.
I love how all the colours seem to revolve around yellow, except for the blue BG that contrasts very well to the rest of the image.
Exceptional focusing once again and a great DOF.
A great composition that is pleasing for the eye :-)
Well done Luis!

TFS!!

Joe

Luis,
This bird seems to have a very nice sense of colour, see it has posed for you on a tree which matches the colour of its throat!
Very nice shot, my friend...
