Yellow Bird Day: Yellow-Throated Warbler, American Goldfinch and Meadowlark

Roger Simmons, March 10, 2024March 10, 2024

I spent the first Saturday in March photographing a trio of birds who share a certain trait: they all sport some brilliant yellow feathers.

I visited a Meadowlark on Joe Overstreet Road in Osceola County in the morning, while a Yellow-throated Warbler and an American Goldfinch visited me in my backyard in the afternoon.

The Yellow-throated Warbler and Goldfinch have come before, but I think these are my best photographs of each one.

It was almost exactly one year to the day when an American Goldfinch first visited me that the latest one showed up. It spent some time on my bird feeder before flying away.

The Yellow-throated Warbler visited last year and has made almost daily visits to my backyard feeder this spring — but I had not been able to photograph the bird in a more natural setting since it would eat at the feeder and then quickly fly away. But this time it stayed and hung around in one of our palm trees.

The Meadowlark was a pleasant sight on a very foggy Saturday morning along Joe Overstreet Road. Even if you can’t see them (and it’s hard not to with all that yellow), you can hear the Meadowlarks singing from fields on both sides of the road as you drive. This bird’s bight yellow belly helped it stand out, even in the fog.
