Migration is often a time of gifts.

I heard this bird and then found it.

It was a Yellow-rump Warbler.

They are one of two winter warblers in the Willamette Valley.

But I do not often see them as they prefer the valley floor and I'm up at around 650' elevation. 

There are two subspecies of Yellow-rump Warblers. 

The most comment one is the Audubon subspecies. 

This bird was exciting as it was the far more rare Myrtle subspecies.

The white throat is indicative of a Myrtle variant.
What else might fly through?

Sweet stitch! What a cool bird! Glad migration brings you some visitors you don't normally see.
