Yellow-rumped Warbler on December 10

[Cristobal]

In Quebec city area, it's very unusual to see such a species at this time of the year, even if it's one of the last warbler species to leave our country; this one was feeding under bird feeders.
D500 + 500 PF @ 1/500, f/5.6, ISO 720.

nice shot. The yellow rumps hang out here all winter long. I live in Northern Kentucky.

Lovely feather detail Cristobal --- is this a member of the Thrush family ?

Thank you Gottshotz for your feedback! Warblers have their own family (Parulidae); as thrush, they frequent the same habitat (decidious forests and coniferous); here in Quebec, we are able to see about thirty of the forty existing species of eastern North America; wonderful birds with sometimes awsome colours!
