Thanks Barry! Shot these with the 400 + extender..

Nice find and captures Cheryl.
These birds are notoriously shy so you did well in gathering these captures. Based on your captures though, this YBS is a juvenile as there is no red plumage apparent on either crown or throat. That just gives you a good reason to keep following it to be able to determine gender later this year

Very nice Cheryl.

Thankyou Steve! I checked my bird book & you're right, it has a bib on the front as well... Hope it hangs around for the summer
