Also known as the myrtle warbler, this warbler is a winter resident on the island, sometimes in huge flocks.  They've earned the somewhat silly nickname of "butter butts" because you can often see the yellow patch on the rump.  Depending on the season or year, these birds can look really different. They eat berries as well as insects.
