Yellow-rumped Warbler photographed at Collinsville, CT — Searching through leafy branches for insects. Yellow-rumped Warblers are often called "butterbutts" because of the bright yellow patch on their lower back. Unlike most warblers, they can digest waxy berries, which lets them stay north much later into the cold season.
