Here in the UK, there is a lot less yellow. Hence why they are part of a new classification: LBJs. Otherwise known as little brown jobs.

@jeffvandermeer.bsky.social calls them adorblers and that works for me.

Who says nature doesn’t have a sense of humor?

"That's a yellow warbler"
"Which yellow warbler?"
"That's right, definitely yellow warbler"

Swinging between joy and frustration!

I've got a picture of that page stored on my phone....and we don't even have warblers in Hawaii. :)

Pro-tip:
Don't go bird-watching with a physicist.

Hard to spot in the leaves at the top of a canopy,
equally hard to ID in the leaves of a book.

Good birding!

Yep definitely saw one of those yesterday

The Colorado state bird is the Lark Bunting. It's not a Lark or a Bunting but it's black and white so it's cheap to print pictures of it.

Have you ever seen this delightful evisceration of the mockingbird as too many states' state bird? By @thebirdist.bsky.social www.slate.com/articles/hea...

We just need to know one in Texas: the golden-cheeked warbler is threatened, it's the only bird that breeds exclusively in Central Texas (migrates to Mexico in the winter) and it should be our state bird and not the played-out mockingbird

Gulls: "Hold my beer."

These birds and the flycatchers are the sedans of the avian world...

Happy Confusing Fall Warblers season everybody

There’s been a lot of them lately here in the Deep South of Ontario 💕
