From photos I've seen on here, it looks like a Yellow Rumped Warbler! Nice shot.

thanks, Sandy

my book says they are to the South and East of us and occasionally migrate to the New England area...must have wanted to see Minnesota!

appreciate the identification-cheers

Was curious about their range-my book(copyright 1980) shows breeding range including NE Minnesota-north shore of Lake Superior. FYI.

All I had handy was The Audubon Field Guide to North American Birds Eastern Region (copyright 1977)

"Range: Southern New Jersey, Ohio, and Illinois south to southeastern United States and west to Missouri and Texas. Winters chiefly in the Gulf states south to the West Indies and Costa Rica."

Migration patterns must have changed over the past 37 years!

Yours is a "Myrtle" sub-species of Yellow-rumped Warbler. There is also an "Audubon's" sub-species with a bright yellow throat that is more common out west. They were formerly considered two separate species but are now considered one.

The Myrtle sub-species winters in the south and on both coasts, migrates throughout the entire US, and then summers (breeds) in the northern USA and Canada. Their breeding range includes northern Minnesota, so depending on where you are you could have a migrant or a breeding bird.

interesting detail-very much appreciate the education

fascinating little creatures

cheers!
