Thanks. Just liked the idea of it being migratory!

This is one of those things where "they" (who ARE "they"?!) have determined that they both fit into one species. When I started paying attention to birds, this was indeed an Audubon's Warbler, but later it got changed to Yellow-rumped. Other birds have changed on me too -- California Towhee used to be a brown towhee, etc.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audubon%27s_Warbler Seems to be a migratory DC audubonii because of the yellow plumage under throat.

and to me very deliteful to spot yet another kind of bird which I could have easily treated as insignificant. Thanks Ava. I am totally impressed by your Id skills.And yours too Karen!
