Myrtle Warbler
 
Dendroica coronata
 
Photographed January 2007, Frankly Parish, LA
 
Specifically a Myrtle Yellow-rumped Warbler. Rather large; long tail flared at tip; round head and stout black bill. 
 
Their range is from northern Alaska, northern Newfoundland south in West to northern Mexico and in East to Michigan, northern New York, Massachusetts, and Maine.  Winters from southern part of breeding range southward into the tropics.
 

We have a flock of these wintering here in North Louisiana.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I was pleased with these in flight pictures.  They show the marking quite well.

 
 
 
 
 

The lighting was poor but I thought the fact that this one is pictured with a worm in it's mouth warranted posting here.
