Yellow-rumped Warbler
This species suffers a double-dose of disrespect; birders regard the species as 'trash because they're so common, and photographers ignore them because they're not visually striking, particularly in this drabbest winter plumage. The high overcast lighting was far from perfect, but I held onto this shot to give this much-maligned species some love. Clearly a set-up. You can even see a baited bit of suet in the bird's mouth.
