[obol] WILSON'S WARBLER (Oregon City)

[LOUIS C FREDD]

I went out at 8am to make my morning yard check after it had warmed up a bit outside.  Glad I didn't wait any longer.  At once a very bright yellow warbler flew from some shrubbery low across the yard, directly toward me.  It landed to forage briefly on a low rosebush about 25 ft away.  I had opportunity to give it a quick once-over with binoculars before it flew off again into the sunshine,  going across my front at eye level about 10 ft away.  Small, plump-bodied, face and underparts all plain yellow, dusky olive crown.  It contrasted beautifully with the peak-of-bloom red of the flowering currant next to the scrawny rosebush.
