[EBB Sightings] serendipity

Being new to regular birding, I have enjoyed the serendipity of the 
experience. Went for a walk in Wildcat Canyon, binocs in hand, 
yesterday evening. Not much to see except a big red-tailed hawk 
circling above. So as I sat on my porch taking off my boots, I looked 
up in the still mostly-bare tree on my front lawn and saw a new-to-me 
bird. After studying it and watching it eat some big green worm or 
something (it kept slapping it against a branch) I determined that it 
was a Yellow-Rumped warbler. Fits the descriptions both in Sibleys and 
on Percevia exactly. And it kept flying back to the tree for the next 
half hour.

Guess I should just stay at home!!
