Yellow Warbler

I was at work taking a break outside and saw a yellow warbler in the tree by me so I took out the cell phone and snapped a photo.

It allowed me to get so close for the photo, I figured what the heck and went to see how close I could actually get before it flew away.

I got real close.

After taking this photo, I put it back in the tree and it flew off.

Crazy. Never expected it to actually let me touch it.

I do some bird watching here in Fairbanks and have seen some nice yellow warb's too :D Did the bird seem sick at all?

Not that I know of. It was making noise and had it's mouth open at first but then just chilled.
Took off fast after I put it back though.

wow such a pretty little bird. i live in sc & the most colorful birds we have here are red cardinals. very pretty birds indeed.

Maybe it wanted to warm it's feet on your hand.
