Talk about a closeup view. I was reading a book while sitting sideways in my
car with my feet on the ground. Bright sunshine, cool breeze. Then there was
a flutter in front of me and a male yellow-throated warbler landed on the edge
of my book! It was there for only a split second. In my surprise I probably
scared it off, though it may have been as surprised as I. It flew to a chain
link fence about 6-8 ft away and then disappeared. I wasn't even sure what I
had seen until I could look in my field guide.
From what I took in in that split second, the Yellow-throated Warbler was the
best match. Mostly I saw the longish bill, head with black and white, and
distinctly yellow throat without the black necklace of the Magnolia. What a
treat!
