Yellow-rumped Warbler - Setophaga coronata - Robert Bateman

"With the frost and the shortening days of September come the flocks of migrants.
Many species are drastically different in plumage from their bright spring garb. But
of all birds, the most confusing transformation takes place in the warblers. The
yellow-rumped warbler, which was formerly known as the Myrtle warbler, is usually
the first to move north in the spring. The bright lemon rump and shoulder patches
show clearly as it flits among the twigs whose buds have yet to burst. However,
in autumn, even the most experienced birders are forced to turn to the
"Confusing Fall Warblers" page of their Peterson field guide. The connoisseur
of subtlety may even prefer the fall plumage.

In this painting I decided to let the bird subject be subservient to the rich
foliage. Woodland and meadow come together with this flaming white
ash and mellow goldenrod."
