About the Image(s)
About: Warblers are notoriously challenging to photograph since they spend most of their time flitting among the leaves and branches. So it’s a treat to find one in the open like this. The Yellow-rumps (aka Butter-butts) like to forage in the blooms of the desert broom. They must be finding bugs, but I often see little bits of the plant stuck to their beaks. Nikon Z8, 600mm, 1/2000 f/7.1, ISO800. Processing: Cropped, and a very small adjustment to bring in the end points on the levels curve.

Cindy, A very nice image of the Yellow Rump. I have not heard them call Butter Butt but that is certainly appropriate. I have one coming in to my feeders now but it has been to fast for me to get an image. Your image has nice detail, is sharp , with a nice pose and nice perch. The Yellow in the feathers really is nice with the blue sky. A very nice image indeed. Bruce   Posted: 02/06/2025 23:33:49
