Wow! beautiful shot! Beautiful bird. I haven't seen Warblers here, but I would bet there are some in KS. Would love to see one.
Yeah, well, that'll teach me to do one of these quizzes before my first cup of coffee. (Glasses might help too)
I got it wrong too! I need to hit the fields a bit more..

Hi...I bird at the Falls of the Ohio State Park across from my home in Louisville, KY. The yellow-rumped is our first to arrive and last to leave warbler. Like your gnatcatcher question, I wondered what these warblers were eating in advance of any insects or fruit. While watching a yellow-bellied sapsucker, I was surprised to see yellow-rump warblers sipping sap from a sweet gum tree that the woodpecker bore holes into. Have you seen this behavior as well? Spring migration seems to be arriving late this year. I enjoyed your site...kind regards...Al
That is one impressive picture, did you use a zoom lens or did it really get that close to you?
What a fantastic photograph of the bird! I love the name yellow-rumped warbler, it is such a delicate and cheery looking bird. I have never seen one of these before, but they look delightful. Thanks for the stunning pictures!
I agree with Cindy this is a beautiful shot and a very beautiful bird :) I just took an animal behavior class and I love watching the behavior of birds. Just one of my favorite past times along with reading and treasure hunting!
