The first time I saw one in my yard I ran for my bird book. It took me a while, but I figured it out. Last year we had quite a few. Haven't seen any yet this year.
True for you- it's here! Hurrah! Even though I love winter, this one was just a bit long and a bit cold. I've just come back from a lovely walk at a nearby lake- bliss! Our sky is not as blue as yours, but some bits are breaking through the fluff of white clouds.
I don't even have a yard to see one in! Great photo as always. It's nice that this first day of spring actually feels like spring too. Happy Spring to you Kerri. :-)
Love this birds nick-name.... I have been waiting for spring this year as well... Winter as certainly took its toll on me... ha! I long for the warmth of the sun on my back...
Wow - what a beautiful bird! I am always amazed by the variety of birds that visit your area. We mainly only have robins, cardinals, blue jays, sparrows and sometimes chickadees. So I really love coming to visit with you and seeing all these new and wondrous birds. Happy Spring to you! Theresa
Wow that's a gorgeous bird. I need to cross the Atlantic one day to see these nice birds! You got two magnificent pictures and congrats for the spring. It has not yet arrived here!
Love the name 'Butter Butt', oh so appropriate. BTW I've only just caught up with your recent posts. Glad to hear the parents are ok and I'm enjoying your daily offerings. You have a blessed gift. Cheers FAB.
My son would love this bird - he's at that age where everything about butts, and other things, just cracks him up! Great images Kerri - love that blue sky in the background!
This bird is nicknamed a BUTTER BUTT....you can see why in the pic below. 
That yellow rump helps GREATLY in IDing this bird ;)
Great pictures - I saw my first yellow-rumped warbler in Savannah, GA as we were traveling to Florida a few weeks ago.S
