Damp redstart

This little warbler was sitting back in one of the apple trees ( in the shade really high ISO and very cropped since I took it from the porch) staying out of the rain. I have only seen them once in these trees since spring. That was last week and I could tell there were two flitting around but only saw the female. She is gray and olive  with some yellow on the tail , wings and side. He looks a bit like a mini oriole. I suspect they had a nest in one of the trees but hard to tell due to the density of branches and foliage. Nice to see though since I had given up hope of seeing any local warblers in June as the trees were well and truly leafed out by that point. Another good thing about todays rain , short as it was.
