Yellow-rumped Warbler (Myrtle)

This is the very first time I can see this species, in my backyard or elsewhere - even though my iBird Pro application, on my Toshiba Thrive tablet, says it's one of the most common Warblers in North America.
The pic is not great but it's all I could manage to shoot before he took off, and given it's a first I'm still happy with it "as is".
(According to iBird Pro, the Myrtle variety has a white throat while the Audubon variety has a yellow throat).
Thank you for looking.
C&C welcome.

Nice. We only see them in the winter down on the gulf coast. The colors are different during that time.

beautiful color

Yes, I noted posts a few weeks back saying that the warblers were reappearing in the northern states.

Thank you Rick.

Congratulations on an exciting first Gerard. Sometimes the worst shot is all one can make of these little ones and you certainly did not get the worst!

That's a fine shot, especially for a rare bird, well done.

Of course I fumbled with my watermark and forgot to update the year
