If you see one in the Oklahoma City area the last half of the month it is worth noting. Urban parks host a large variety of wildlife if you really spend some time observing.The Yellow-rumped Warbler (Dendroica coronata), according to the 1986 “OOS Date Guide,” can be found in central Oklahoma from October 6-May 12, so the last ones should be departing about now. It immediately came to my hand, I got pictures & a video on my cellphone camera. I decided to hold my hand out the window with seeds to see what it would do.

It was in a mixed flock of Black and White Warblers and Myrtle’s Yellow Rumped Warblers. I thought at first I was seeing a redstart perched on top of the sunflower just outside my back door in Austin MN, but wait a minute, a redstart doesn’t have a bright yellow bib, nor do they have the white markings in the places this bird did. Many of them around mainly eating seeds in the short grasses and some in mountain ash trees. These birds were very small and moved quickly.

All of the former Dendroica species have been renamed to Setophaga. The genus Dendroica, with 29 members, was merged with the genus Setophaga, with just 3 members.
