Masked Visitor

Yesterday I was surprised to see a Yellowthroat Warbler peering in through a rain soaked window. The male's unique black mask sets him apart from other North American warblers. Not a feeder bird, this male was either looking for insects or checking out his reflection. At any rate, it was a treat to watch this vigorous little fellow with his sunshine yellow throat pay a surprise visit to my window on such a rainy day.

With a wren-like stance, this male yellowthroat warbler twitters his message.
