Bits of Yellow-everywhere Warbler

Why is the Yellow-rumped Warbler  (Myrtle/Audobon's) called that? Why isn't it called the Yellow-crested-sided and rumped Warbler or the Yellow here and there Warbler? Enquiring minds need to know these things. It's a very nice looking warbler.

The light was very bright and glary, very harsh which is not ideal but the birds didn't care as they were hot and needed a bath.

Afternoon Session at the Waterfall. 2-4pm

It went very quiet just after 4pm so it was time to go make the Potoato Soup for dinner. It was good. I went back out about 5:40ish amd it was dead for nearly half an hour, just the odd squabbling Robin's and Catbirds. I kept thinking, I'll give it another 5 minutes as it went quite dark, then it brightend up and I gave it another 5 minutes. Then this beauty showed up for a bath.

Then the Myrtles showed up and the sun was going down behind the tree's and I thought I'll give it another 10 minutes or I'll stay out to quarter past. Then it became all worthwhile staying out.
