The Yellow-rumped also called the Myrtle Warbler is named for its yellow rump and is therefore very easy to identify. It is also the most common warbler to pass through this area. This warbler is also usually the first of the many warblers to arrive here. We saw our first Yellow-rumped on April 4th of this year and there are still quite a few that have not yet headed north.
