Yellow Rumped Warbler/Audubon's Warbler (sub species)

At least that is what the answer was when I asked for Bird ID on a Southern California Face Book birding group. I had never seen one up close that I can remember.
While my wife stalked the wild Pokemon I sat in the car and read or took pictures out the window in between driving her to various locations. A whole flock of these little guys, with a few sparrows were hanging around the gate of the "California Citrus State Historic Park" in Riverside, CA. It is 400 acres toatal with 248 acres in orchards with a visitor center, picnic areas, trails, a huge variety of different citrus fruits and a large fruit stand where they sell fruit from the park's trees. The land is hilly with over 100' differences in elevation.
This is from one side of the street across the street and then about 8-10 feet to the fence. They are small, just a bit bigger than a Lesser Goldfinch. So these are extreme crops.
It was cloudy bright with the light level going up and down but never bright enough for distinct shadows. Sort of like being in a giant soft box. (I almost always keep the camera on manual - RAW, with ISO on Auto while I set SS and f-stop.) Processing is in LR and PS.
All four shots are with Canon 5DIV, Tamron 150-600 G2 @ 600 hand held or resting on the car door out the driver's window.
#1 1/400 @ f/9.0, ISO 2500
#2 1/400 @ f/9.0, ISO 2000
#3 1/400 @ f/9,0, ISO 1600
#4 1/200 @ f/6.3, ISO 400

Jerry, fantastic photos with great detail in DDLs. You, along with Regis, are for sure giving me the incentive to use this lens hand held. I am practicing and hope to post some in the future,
Greg

Outstanding photos especially with the included info about being handheld, where and settings - in that order, thank you.

Thank you very much. I don't think I am not in Regis's league except once in a while by good luck but comparing my work to his is a great compliment.
