Yellow-rumped Warbler Photos

Photography by Terry Sohl

My Favorite: Yellow-rumped Warblers are probably the most common migrant warbler we get in eastern South Dakota, in both the spring and fall. Perhaps it's because of their common nature that I really don't try to target them for photography that much, and don't have that one "perfect" photo. My favorite is probably the one below, from Bryce Canyon, Utah in May of 2008.
