Rare bird spotted in Cook County
The first is probably the rarest bird we have ever seen at our place in Lutsen. We had a huge invasion of Yellowrumped Warblers migrating through the North Shore last weekend. Embedded with them on May 5th was this outof- range 'Audubon's' Yellow-rumped Warbler, a subspecies that breeds in the mountains of the western U.S. and British Columbia. The most notable difference is that the 'Audubon's' has a yellow throat, while the eastern 'Myrtle' subspecies that we are more familiar with has a white throat.
