For one heart-stopping moment each, three warblers I have never before seen appeared in the thicket outside the kitchen window. First, a Yellow-rumped Warbler landed, then turned away as if to show off his brilliant backside. Next, a dashing little Common Yellowthroat in (uncommon) black mask paused just long enough for me to grab a thorough look. Just when I thought it was safe to take a sip of coffee a Blackburnian Warbler appeared. A Warbler I hear all day outside my office window, is the Tennessee Warbler, I consider its high-pitched song the sweetest of them all. The following audio clip is close to what I hear.

Hello from Minnesota!
I love your blog, Uri. I myself saw a yellow-rumped warbler hopping among the ivy along the ledge of a university building yesterday--another entry to my life list. And later that same evening, we had a momentary visit from an indigo bunting, followed by male and female orioles! What a birdilicious day!
Thanks for reporting your bird and frog sightings, Uri! I always enjoy them.
