A day after seeing my first, two more (possible) Yellow-rumped Warblers. Hoping they might be something else.

Hey Snick,

The first one is definitely a YRW. I think the second one is too, but it's a little hard seeing the yellow. Those splotches of yellow just under the wing shoulder are a give away and the yellow rump too.

(responded to your other post earlier)

It's funny. You (and others) had mentioned this phenomena: you have a 'nemesis' bird which you finally see, and then you see them all over the place. This happened first with the Red-shouldered Hawk (none in the first 3 1/2 months, 4 in the past 2 weeks) and now with the YRW.

Of course! I'm sure there's 2 Soras and a Rail hiding in my backyard right now!
