  1. Looks like a Yellow Warbler in that first photo. Get a good look, because they will be gone south before long for the winter. Sweet photo!

    1. The guess from the submitter was a Goldfinch but we’ll change it to a more generic description unless someone can confirm for sure the type of bird. Thanks.

  2. Such a lovely photo of a Yellow Warbler! I’ve read that even when a bird looks fine after a window strike, they often sucumb to concussions or other injuries caused by such a collision. Window decals or other kinds of deterrants can help birds mistake the reflected greenery as open space.

  3. Hi Yellow Bird! I usually always see the goldfinch anyway and the red finch in my yard but this year I didn’t see one at all. First time in like forever. I wonder why? I guess they just went N and missed me ha. I am happy to see this picture. I love those little Yellow Birds. This year I had more Robins than ever. It was wonderful. They are fun to watch. They are Birdbath lovers and pretty selfish with the water ha. I filled those bird waterers and baths up 3 times a day this summer. The Blue Jay though now they know how to party down in a birdbath then puff up and preen for me. I have had incidents thru my 30+ years in this Edmonds garden where birds hit glass windows. I would pick them up very very gently cup them in my hands and gently put my hands into the bath and let them wake up. And they did and then flew away. Hummingbirds too. I don’t hang any plants inside my windows or put large plants in pots inside my home near the windows. I have used those stickers and they do help I think.
