Hey, I found a alternate adult / female ''Audubon's'' Yellow-rumped Warbler along the Thames River near Beachville today. The bird was in a flock of 10 Yellow-rumps, all catching flies along the muddy banks of the river.
Besides the yellow throat patch, the bird can be detected by call, which differs from the 'Myrtle'' Yellow-rumps in being somewhat sweeter and higher pitched. >From Beachville Road, take Domtar Line north over the river, then turn >immediately right to the gate. Walk along the gravel roadway about 200 m. The >birds were along this stretch, low down along the riverbank and in the >vegetation.
