Really should put a bit more effort into my titles ;)
Thanks for all the lovely comments and favs on yesterday's Agapanthus shot and have a good week everyone.
Another older image from files that I had edited but never had time to organize into species. It is getting me back in touch with the birds in time for migration.

The yellow-throated warbler (Setophaga dominica) is a small migratory songbird species breeding in temperate North America. It belongs to the New World warbler family (Parulidae). Yellow-throated Warblers are small, well-proportioned birds with sharp and pointed bills. Compared to other warblers, they are a bit more heavy-bodied with a longer and thicker bill. From below, note the blunt, only slightly notched tail. Yellow-throated Warblers are gray and white with a splash of yellow on the throat and black streaks down the sides. The yellow throat is offset by a black triangle below the eye and a white eyebrow. From above they have a gray back and 2 white wingbars. From below look for the white belly and white tail. Females and first-year males look similar, but are slightly paler.
I loved the harmony of the shades of yellow and orange in this Alstromeria lily, made a bit sparkly with the added water drops ....
