Hi all, here’s a new little bird I don’t think I have ever sent out before, this is a male Yellow Warbler. A big thanks to my good friend Gordy for pointing this bird out to me, I am very grateful for any and all photo tips above or below water. I ran into Gordy the other day and he told me there is a little yellow bird sitting in front of the Warden (big Ship) on a stick at the Sea Aquarium. Turns out this bird and his mate have been here for a few weeks and have been seeing their reflections in the ships window and it’s driving the male crazy! The little Yellow Warbler must see this as another male trying to move in on his territory or his lady?? The people in the boat have tried everything to mask the reflection from the inside but he can still see himself and he’s bound and determined to kick his own butt if it’s the last thing he does! The locals here call these little beauties Para di Misa and in Dutch they are called Gele Zanger. The females of this species don’t have a brown hat and are not as brightly colored, we males need all the help we can get, right boys!! I also found out that many older locals call these ”Churchbirds”. Long ago friars of old gave it the name because of the resemblance of a brown cap. The thin bill indicates clearly the insectivorous nature of this bird. Often branch after branch is systematically stripped of it’s insects.
Aimee went to a party tonight and I had to stay home with the all the dogs! That’s about it, time for bed. Have a great day tomorrow, Barry
