Butter Butts
A dear blogging friend told me about the nickname "Butter Butt" for the yellow-rumped warbler and now I can't refer to them any other way. I passed this knowledge on to my husband and he continually gets it wrong, saying 'butter balls' or 'yellow butts.' I no longer correct him; I know what he means.

Love the nickname and your photos are great!
Definitely beautiful little birds and the nick name is just too cute!
I love that! And your photos are so beautiful! I don't think I've had any of these around here lately.

Beautiful images. I am waiting to see the 'butter butts' around here in spring.
prachtig om deze mooie vogeltjes te zien.
Sweet little butter butts!
Butter butt. I get it! Too cute.
:-) This made me smile - I guess now I'll never be sure whether I remembered Butter Butts correctly (see - was just about to write Butter Cups…)
I've never seen one of those cute little butter butts. When I do I will know they are either butter butts, yellow butts, or butter cups. LOL
Sweet little bird :)
Too Funny!!!
Love you pictures of the little butter butt.
i love bird butts !!!
You know what they say, "butter makes everything better". Ok, I'll shut up now. Great shots of the little cuties.
We just counted 26 of them in an orange grove yesterday!
Cute name for a cute bird.
I've seen the odd yellow rumpled warbler migrate through here spring and fall. I love them! Thanks for sharing the neat photo!
A sweet, little bird with a sweet nickname.
So cute..both the bird and the name...and the butter-butt shot perfectly shows why the nickname is perfect.
I love the nickname for this little cutie, and I smiled at the photo that captured the feature that led to the nickname.
I think Doubld D and Doug might have been twins separated at birth. Doug's been trying to remember what cormorants are called during our Florida vacation, and he's come up with some hysterical substitutions.
I think butter butt is a most appropriate name..what a sweet bird.
Ha! I love that name.
so cute (and funny) :)
So beautiful these little birds with their bright yellow dash. Beautifully captured Gail and oh, so beautiful to see.
