I spotted this spectacular Yellow-throated Warbler (Setophaga dominica) on Monday at Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge as it perched amidst the hanging seed pods of what I believe is a sycamore tree. I love the round shape and texture of the seed pods and the warbler was much more in the open than he was when he was hidden amidst the foliage.

His colors are spectacular!
Lovely
A pretty/cute bird and those seed pods are very interesting.
Thanks. As I mentioned in the post, I think they are sycamore tree seed pods. The spiky seed pods of the Sweet Gum tree are even cooler, like this ones in this blog posting. https://michaelqpowell.com/2022/12/15/goldfinches-and-sweetgum/
