Myrtle Marge-arse
Deep in our backyard bushes today was this one, a Marge-arse, a useful name if, like me, you don't like the widespread Americanism nickname. In my increasing dotage I sometimes call them Three-cornered hats; don't ask me why. They are officially “Yellow-rumped warblers” and those in Newfoundland, probably all over the Eastern parts of this continent, used to be officially called Myrtle warblers. They are very pretty.
Myrtle sounds to me like a good name too. I think Myrtle Marge-arses are the warblers I most commonly see in Ganny Cove.
