Description
The Yellow-rumped Warbler (Setophaga coronata) is one of the most abundant and widely distributed of the family of birds, entirely confined to the western hemisphere, known as the Wood Warblers, or Parulidae, often referred to collectively as the Parulids. All are small, insectivorous (but some species, including this one, include small fruit, even seeds, suet and other materials in the diet -- in fact the ability to digest waxy myrtle berries gives the eastern, nominate race of this species the name "Myrtle" Warbler) and most, but not all, are colourful, often boldly patterned.
The bird in the painting is an adult male in winter plumage of the subspecies, or geographic variation, that used to be considered a separate species, Audubon's Warbler, (S. c. auduboni) and may be again as scientists apply new research tools to determining relationships between similar forms. They have a wide breeding range through western North America. Eastern birds are almost identical in this plumage but lack that touch of yellow at the throat, which is white. In breeding plumage the two birds are more distinct as the western one has more black around the breast and face and more white on the wing as well as the yellow, not white, throat. While they are, on the breeding grounds, mostly a forest bird, during migration and in winter they show up almost anywhere, foraging wherever they can find food and often appear in quite large numbers. The painting is 8 by 10 inches, approximately life size and painted in acrylics on compressed hardboard. $250.00.
