No it wasn't the sun shining! But this morning we had a very beautiful yellow visitor, a Wilson's Warbler, brief and restless, but incredibly vibrant. The times of bird activity vary depending on factors only birds know. Time of day, temperature, wind, sun or rain, for us amateur birders, it's a little hard to know what determines their visits. But suddenly we will have a mass of activity, birds at every feeder, sitting in line on the tree branches or at the birdbath, waiting to bathe, drink, and feed. This is when I often see kinglets or warblers, these brief moments of hectic activity.
Sighting a beautiful and infrequent visitor to our yard absolutely makes our day.
